   Hello
   Its starting to get dark and we have spent the day trying to take the gearbox out! now the cars half in the garage and we've removed the drive shaft gear linkages lower arm holding the hub so really their is no way of rolling the car back!
   
   We need to roll the car back the only thing we can think of is to jack it either side and to roll it slowly as the halford jacks we have have wheels problem is the driveway is brick layed so we are worried the car will bounce of any ideas pleasE!!!!

   Have you got any thin plywood or hardboard laying around. Cut it and make a track for the jack. When pushing it, if it is high enough, put the wheels under the sills as you move, just in case it drops; at least you can then get it back up.
   Just take care.

   Tried to wheel it back on the stands car wudnt budge, put wood under the stands like tracks, still wouldnt work the wheels just sunk in lol and i tried to give the f*cker a lift, thought my back was gna pop lool
   
   So i just put the lower arms in etc etc that was a little frustrating! but eventually got them in place and put the wheels back on
   
   Thank you all for the suggestions
