I popped out the plug under the oil filter and could see that the oil pump shaft was spinning properly. So I'm onto removing the oil sump.
The front axle looks like it is attached at two points and secured with two pins. The rear pin seems to be attached to the cast sump? Is that the case?
I'm getting the bolts today and planning on trying to sliide the front bolster forward.
Also replacing most of the steering parts and alternator upgrade while it's all torn apart. Are there any other high wear items that I should be looking to replace while I have it apart? This 5000 has 7700 hrs on it and while I've owned it for the last 5 years I have no idea of it's previous history.
Anymore thoughts or advice on the bolster seperation is appreciated!
Dave
