HELP! - Dsico 1 CV Replacement

<< < (2/2)

Telaren:
Stripped hub down this morning.
Came apart without too much trouble

The CV joint looked and felt fine but found the stub axle bearing totally disintergrated

Ordered new CV and bearing . Hoping to get them in first thing in morning.

Got a set of new brake pads whilst it was off.

I found the CV housing dry of oil except for a bit of sludge.  Got some nice new oil to put in.

Going to check other side to be safe.

Next job - Head Gasket - sounds likme a steam train at moment.

Will keep you updated

Telaren:
New bits now fitted

Replaced the brake pipes (copper) as they where rotted and the pads

After a quick bleed of the brakes.  Good as New  :lol:

Even had time to fit 2 more spots into front grill - Piccies to follow.

Just the Head gasket to do - Think I will leave that one to the experts.

Thanks all for your help.  Taz   8)

to be honest if you ar patient & resonably compitent with the tools a headgasket isnt to hard,TBH the thing that takes the longest when i do them is setting the tappets back up,
5 hours is good going
4 hours is working flat out & never managed to beat that time

One day I'll suck up the courage to have a go at one.
