Serious help needed.

Thrasher:
Um...James - you did move the vehicle to get at the nuts didn't you?

As in roll it so you can one, then roll it a few inches further to get the next and so on?

If not - well - yes - you need to ring more people lol!

muddyjames:
Well erm no I didnt move it. I had it up on ramps!!! When I did the rear prop last week I put both G and T box into neutral and the prop turned to access them. The other end (axle end) was easy to get to them all.

Thrasher:
Not sure how that would have worked on the rear - to turn the prop without any interference from the diff would mean ... well - either the back wheels were off the ground, or you have a very broken rear diff....

It's a quick job without ramps...... ;)

muddyjames:
I may have done rear bolts first then and turned prop once those were undone to do the hand break end. I dont realy know what I do!!! :lol:

I just need to sauce a new prop now. Is it worth getting a second hand one or bite the bulit and get a new one? Will a new one come all ready and shiny to just bolt on or wil I need to buy uj's etc as well?

Thrasher:
New one for a diesel (front) was around £90 from a dealer - with UJ's ... but this was in 2001......
