all wires and looms to the starter, VCT, injectors etc..
water hose off the bottom of the rad the two water hoses off the HCV
the earth strap that goes to the gearbox bellhouseing
un clip fuel lines red and white one
un bolt the cat off the manifold best to undo it off the exaust and completly get it out the way
unplug lamda sensor
remove the pipe goin to the top off the power steering pump and the 18mm nut that holds the high pressure pipe in as well
if has air con you can unbolt the pump off the block and leave the gas in it just need to remove the aux belt if you doin that.
wheels off
bottom ball joints out the drivers side one you have to undo 2 x 13mm nuts that hold it on to the block.
undo the 30mm nuts on the end of the drive shafts and pull the shafts out of the hub
now to get the shafts out the gearbox is fun and games!
