Seems I've got some work to do on the Freestyle before she hits the road this year. I've noticed there's quite a bit of oil dripping out the bottom of the bellhousing so I'll be doing the crank oil seal in the not too distant.
Now I know I can do it on a Mini without lifting the lump out,(although it's probably the more difficult option!), but obviously getting the motor out of the buggy is a bit more hassle. So I'm wondering if it's possible to get the clutch/flywheel out of a Freestyle with the motor in situ. Access is obviously better than with a Mini but it doesn't look like the clutch end of the engine will lift very far. Anyone managed it?
