Has anyone removed a gearbox from the DS?
I undid all the bolts except 2 which did nt have the normal type head Is it a special tool? and why ever would Citroen do that? Or is that a silly question

Sorry forgot to say…
It is done now as you can see but what a performance. 2 broken 6mm spanners too

Sorry I keep unloading pics then moving them ops:
Also the trouble with barn finds is straw and mummified Rats

where is this bolt comming from, never seen it before.

I ‘ve took two of those bolts out of my transmission (ID ‘62) Special socket is available @ Chyparse.

Good luck!

They go on the bellhousing of the gearbox about middle horizontal.
Why they would do it I dont know just the 2 (one on each side) all the rest were normal bolts.

Maybe there’s not enough room for regular bolts, I’m not sure! Have to look into it next week! 

That is the reason. Use those hexagonal ones at rebuilt

Good idea!

Allen-type bolts or Inbus as we call them?? Good idea! But use lots of copper grease, you do NOT want those to stick should you need to take the ‘box back out… Cost me several moped-engines, stunts like that…

I have left them out all together… The “wielewaal” ( the original) is a pretty type of bolt but I did not see the need.

An Allen kan be unscrewed with the proper bit on your wrench.

Yep , is dezelfde kop als de bout van de hoogteregelaar rond de torsiebar .

Vroeger plaatste ik hier altijd een gewone M7 in .

De oude M7 bouten hadden nog een kop van 12 mm , nieuwere zijn maar 11 mm .

Vandaar deze speciale koppen , die sleutel gebruikten ze toch al dus waarom niet ....
