T4 Sump removal

[wardy1]

Hi
I've removed all visible bolts and the sump moves around but still seems trapped at the bell housing end although it wiggles.
Do I need the crankshaft pulley off or are there any hidden bolts. We got the bolt out above the driveshaft housing with difficulty but its still stuck.
Please help. Simon

You do not have to remove the pulley,What about the two bolts to the rear of the sump,the flywheel must be in a certain position to access them,otherwise you can not see them.

Thanks Kenny
I can't look now as its dark but I don't understand. Where can you see the flywheel without removing the bell housing. Simon

There are 2 recesses in the sump,you will need a long allen key,

This happened to me, the baffle was gasket glued onto the sump you have to take a sharp scraper or screwdriver and separate the two then the sump falls off leaving the baffle hanging off the pump.
