Aye, it's thursty work that is mate... need summit tae wash them fumes down with

I cleaned up my propshafts to remove all the crud having soaked the UJ ends a few times to help with releasing them, and fettled the bolt holes a little to take the metric bolts (replacing all the imperial stuff as and when).

Now just to figure out how to get the UJ's out and fit the new ones. As someone who has previously only ever done basic servicing and the odd wee repair on motors, I'm having to learn it all as I go. :dizzy:

put em in a vice with a socket that's larger than the uj on one side and a socket that just fits in the hole on the other and clamp tight the smaller socket will push the uj into the larger socket. Hey presto jobs a good un.

I've removed my Macho MT's and replaced them with Khumo Powerguard road tyres as I've sold the Macho's on Fleabay.

Also cleaned all the Paint & Rust of the spare wheel ready for repainting.

remove the circlips first though!

Well technically I didn't ask how to do it - Redhand generously proffered the info.

That said, I wish I had found it as straightforward as your excellent guide Busterbus - these ****ing UJ's must have been on the landy for a century - the circlips would not budge - seized absolutely solid and it took an hour and a half of battering, hammering, prising etc. Managed to break the Brother-in-law's vice in the process of knocking the UJ out.

For someone used to tinkering with computers, this is a whole new world! I do hope getting the new UJ in isn't as much of a painas getting the old one out!

The rear shaft can go **** itself - I'm gonna nick the shaft off my SIII instead.

That diff and axle sure looks nice and shiny G-man. What was it you did to your hand?
