<< < (2/3) > >>

My method on a job like that would be

1. Bin spanners

2 Angle grind all nuts & bolts


It loks like I am going to have fun replacing the rear axle on mine ... :?

Oh thanks guys....... johnty has to do his soon :?

Porny:
Last time I did this, I got a spare A-Frame and built it all up... then just a case of swapping it over.  :wink:

Did use a 12 tonne press though (when rebuilding the spare one) and a selection of big hammers!!!

Meant I could do it all at my leisure though.

I don't recal the ball joint being quite so bad on mine and that was after 18 years on the back of a range rover. Soaking any siezed parts in a tub of diesel over night helps a lot, an oxy/acetaline torch is also very useful.

drmike:
I did this on my RRC and it was tough going and a press was required to get something out and then in again but most of it was fine if tiring.

I hope the same will be true as I fear mine is going on the Disco now.
