Never mind the hub nuts - I broke a torque wrench trying to shift the WHEEL NUTS on a Cavalier a few years ago! :shock:
Must have been King Kong on the air line at that particular tyre garage ...

on the air gun topic in a workshop i poped into for 2 days cash work they had a young lad bout 15 takin the wheel of a 7 1/2 tonner using a 3/4 air gun,thing was the gun the mechanic watching him had given him had the habit of catching so when the lad pulled the trigger,it did 4 blows ,didnt shift the nut & promptly caught its internals & flipped him over & across the floor,never laughed so much in my life :lol: :lol:

I got it all back together today - took it for a test drive (8 miles or so) and all seemed fine ... much less clonk when starting off, which is a welcome improvement!
But ...... got home, parked up, looked underneath and OMG - diff oil almost pouring out (OK, it was dripping, but dripping pretty fast!)
The diff casing is covered with oil, as is the surrounding body (underneath), but the propshaft is clear and the diff seal (at the propshaft) area seems OK, although it's difficult to tell.
I will check all the nuts tomorrow for tightness - and hope that I don't have to 'kin start again :evil:
Or maybe I'll just take the .... thing to the garage :cry:

100Nm - really? :shock: That's on the nuts/studs that fix the diff housing onto the axle? :?
