I remember "back inthe day" we never used torque wrenches on wheel nuts, just an extra "nip" on each nut, in all my years ofOk, a bit more persuasion and think i was twisting the alloy cap that prettifies the wheel nuts.
Managed to get another off, went with such a crack my fingers now hurt!!
I think I would replace all the nuts, to be overtightened to that extent can't have done em much good.Had to hammer the 6 point 22mm socket back onso I've given up for now until i can find something more suitable
I think i agree.. might get a full set and go to my local tyre dude (who drives a disco 2)
Perfect this was just what I needed pictures and a bit of info as I’ve got a reluctor ring to replace which is essentially the same job either that or I just replace the cv joint anyway since that comes with a new ring though I’ve already got a ring that came with the car to replace it with. Though I don’t have a Fijian in my toolbox so that might be a bit difficult for me.
For getting the hub off, I cracked off the four bolts a few threads. Then give them a few taps with a hammer. Although I was lucky as it wasn't that tight on. Guess the antiseize I slapped on there last time I had the hub off made all the difference.
Yeah I was thinking it might just be easier to replace the joint aswell, I mean technically my ring is split so it might actually knock off easily but it looks like the joints don’t cost much either so probably just go that route, then I can always play with the old one in my spare time to see if I can get it off and the new one fitted as cv joint seems fine so would be a useful spare to have.
Getting the old one off won't be a problem, in theory, as it's broked. Getting the new one on.. getting it very hot will help.. whichever route you go down, you've got to get to the same point taking stuff off.. as far as I'm awareYeah I was thinking it might just be easier to replace the joint aswell, I mean technically my ring is split so it might actually knock off easily but it looks like the joints don’t cost much either so probably just go that route, then I can always play with the old one in my spare time to see if I can get it off and the new one fitted as cv joint seems fine so would be a useful spare to have.
How would your Fijian feel about being posted? I can stretch the cost to even have air holes in the box.
To be fair I’m seeing a mate of a mate next week about him possibly fitting new cats if I supply them. As no where by me wants to do it if I supply by they are literally charging double if not more just for the exact same cats I can get and that’s without labour.
So might see what he would charge to replace the joint at the same time
It’s the in theory that makes me think it’s worth grabbing a new joint just in case wouldn’t want to successfully get it all stripped down only to find it refuses to budge without possibly damaging the joint in the process. Then if it indeed comes off easy enough and new ring goes back in fine it just means I’ve got a new joint ready when it needs one.
That sounds far too sensible
The foam that you get does not last that long it seams to not be uv stable, Dopey used some fish tank foam that is ok or Datatek used an alli mesh painted , for the pollen filter covers use some self adhesive draft excluder round the opening.
Well when you only have access to the one car it means I have to be a little bit sensible occasionally as need it to get about, I do still technically have the freelander at the minute though it’s uninsured so can’t drive it.That sounds far too sensible
Thanks for that, fish tank foam might be a bit quicker and easier to get hold of which means I can seal up sooner rather than later.
Yep all the grounds can attach to the same point
Perfect, that was the only thing I was unsure on.
It's really quite simple, tank sender, tank solenoid, engine bay solenoid and power are the main pointsPerfect, that was the only thing I was unsure on.
Just ordered the fish tank foam for delivery tomorrow so that means I can crack on and seal up tomorrow! Bonus.
That means expect another post this time tomorrow to say I broked everything taking it all apart
Or they I connected the lpg up and it exploded. Either way good things or very bad things will be happening tomorrow just not sure which.
Yeah that’s what I thought from looking at it, it was just stumping me as I was unsure where the tank stuff was coming out I should have asked you really but I found it anyway now.
