Installing the sword on a RHD vechile?

[BigKriss]

I spoke to a mate today who said he had done it before but it seems the steering linkage is in the way. when I removed it it was very tight on the linkage but I manged to get it out somehow by also pushing the brake pedal.

Now I can't put it back in??

Any help guys with RHD cars?

I have an auto and dont have the sword so the 'black box' came out relatively easily. I wouldnt have got the filter in if it hadnt been a two piece because the steering column gets in the way. Sounds like you need an extra pair of hands - or feet - to press the brake and clutch while you jiggle it back in there?

I have an auto also, no microfilter. The steering column seems in the way, its not the brake pedal that I have to worry about.

Interesting my sword comes out on the right side but my steering is on the left. Guess that is one of the benefits of having the steering on the left

I cheated a little and ground a small amount off the end of the heat sink so I could just angle it in. The purists wouldntb approve though!

Thanks Erich. I read that before but it doesn't help. I tried for over 30 mins and even got my mum to try to no success

Thanks I dont want to do that but I might have to as a last resort.

At least you don't have a manual. I had to disconnect the clutch pedal and swing it up out of the way, then remove part of the steering column and also press the brake pedal in. Was a horrible job. You can loosen the two mounting bolts for the hvac box so that you move it just a touch and that helps to get the sword back into the hole. Good luck

All so you can have the steering on the wrong side
