My Dad is helping me fit my backbox today.
He wants to know how long it takes to do......
I can't answer as I've never done the job before.

I have a trolley jack, axles stands and tools. I do not have a hydraulic ramp or anything like that.

Can anyone advise and any potential niggles that may hinder our progress.
If it's any consolation we have fitted a whole exhaust to a mk1 MR2 in 25 mins inc. adjustments.

Thanks guys

Steve

If you allowed a couple of hours that should be plenty.

I'd be mindful of undoing the rusted/seized bolts and the wiggling the exhaust out.

If this is in time, also remove the driver side rear wheel as this can restrict twisting of the backbox to get the pipes over the suspension :)

Thanks Mook. However I have not fitted the backbox as I am buying a complete system and de-cat downpipe instead. :D I will fit it all together in one go. A weekend should see that sorted.... :)
