Greg,
The worst job on a T3 without a doubt !! (even worse than changing th eoil
cooler seals with the engine in the car).
I still haven't made a special tool for the pulley nut al-la Muir, but I
intend to soon.
Apart from the other advice I always have a magnetic retrieval tool handy
fro when the inevitable happens.
Regards,
Steve Farmer
