CAN I BORROW

(1/3) > >>

Range Rover Blues:
Has anyone near me got an X-Eng  halshaft tool, or anything similar that I can borrow please (reasonably local) becasue I've snapped the short front halfshaft off in the diff, no way am I doing that in this weather.

X-Eng are out of stock :(

v8kenny:
Hope you manage to get hold of one.........................................I'd be interested to see if they actually work
Anytime I have snapped a front half shaft in the past it's never been easy to get the stump out even with the diff on the bench without resorting to violence !
They always seem to break in a twisting fashion meaning the splines get wedged together......................maybe it's just me  :)

muddyweb:
I've always just taken the other shaft out, put a bit of rod through the diff and given it a smack...  if it is going to come out at all (without a proper fight) then it will just pop through the axle casing and can be fished out with a magnet

Range Rover Blues:
NOW you tell me, it's up against a wall in peices.  It's the small shaft that's bust too.  I thought about buying the X-Eng magnet and a broom handle to do the job, I agree it needs to be a hefty magnet.
