Unfortunately my plans to rebuid the sprint are currently on hold ,as I am in dispute over what sort of temporary accomodation I can rent while I am working away during the week. My company feel that an apartment is fine and cannot understand the need for a large garage! Philistines!

So it may be the New Year before I can get the car and various parts I've mentioned out of storage. Any one got a workshop to rent just South of Leeds , England?

In the interim I attach another excelent picture of a 2600 sprint and my latest question. How do I change the clutch release (throwout) bearing on the2600 ? As picture below I have the new bearing but I cannot see how to dismantle the carrier - is therea special alfa tool or do you have to have all new parts for this assembly?

Cheers

Ian
