Hi lads.
Does anyone know how to separate the Tourque tube from the Gear box of a 360?
Cheers Mark.

you first need to unscrew the two bolts under the rubber thingies in the torquetube, then the link between the axle and gearbox is disconnected! then you need to unbolt the four imbusbolts holding the torquetube to the gearbox!

might need to losen the gear linkage

Take one of the bolts right out of the sleeve clamp, loosening is not enough, the bolt shaft stops it from separating.
