Serious help needed.
lee celtic:
fitting a front prop should only take 45 mins max you can get a special tool off eblag but you can do it with spanners.
Don.t put it on ramps or jack it just jam the chock under the front wheel and fit the first two bolts then move the chock about 5 inches from the tyre then roll the car up to it this will turn the prop until the next bolt is in play repeat until all the bolts are in and tight run it round the block and the repeat the thing again to make sure non of the bolts are loose and the prop and flanges have seated right . :D
I refitted mine by feel in the dark after fitting a new hardy spicer a bit late in the day and the torch died :cry:

Well I spent less than the length of a cd as I listened to a new cd whilst doing it. What an evil job to do. How comes a 14mm spanner is ultra tight fit on the nuts but they can stil round off? beyond me!
It was also interesting rolling a disco back and forth whilst underneath it!
It drives alot better now and also taking it for a test drive I have noticed that it doesnt drop down a gear nearly as much as before. could be something else or would a smooth runing prop help this?
