Hi, when having some welding done to the chassis it was noted the front beam on my 72 Dormobile is rusted beyond repair so I’ve bit the bullet and bought a new standard beam from JK. seeing As I work away from home for months at a time I hoped I could get the beam fitted by a specialist (I’ve been given the number of a highly recommended guy in Salford) while I was working but was looking for advice as to how hard it would be to do it myself. Im not a mechanical idiot having done my own servicing of my previous vehicles and since owning the bus I’ve already changed the drop link, steering box, throttle mechanism, gear shifter , shifter rod bushings , gearbox Oil on top of a service but am relatively new to owning a t2 and am unsure if there are any pitfalls / special tools/ tricks/ other parts that should be ordered for changing at the same i should know about before even thinking about attempting to replace it myself. Also how long do you think it would take to do and is it a 2 man job, any advice would be much appreciated.
