I would shift your raids away from Rimmers.

I get water pump kits from Fitchetts or Robsport who both do the seal without the graphite ring.

It can be pulled out with the suspension still attached - but you'll need to lift the front of the car to get enough of an angle.

Many people prefer to remove the car from the subframe - lifting the body off of the suspension and then pulling the engine, gearbox and front axle clear from underneath.

Ok. I think i`m going to lift the front of the car then. I want to keep it on wheels.

Or you can pull the engine box and exhaust downpipe out together on a crane....

Just disconnect the propshaft and exhaust from the downpipe...and clutch slave from gearbox....just leave it dangling....speedo cable and various other little fiddly things like earth strap and starter cables...
