Rear drive / half shaft renewal.
This is quite an easy job tae do, so heres how ah did it.
First Ah slackened the wheel nuts and drive flange nuts .
then jacked up the bus and removed the wheel .
took off the dust cap, removed the bolts on the drive flange and pulled the shaft out ..
Ah had a spare drive flange lyin about so didnt have to remove the circlip on this shaft. ( if yer flange is good with very little play then re use it)
Ah stuck the flange on the new shaft .
then a new circlip ..
then the dust cap ..
Gave the hub a good clean, put a new gasket on and stuck the new shaft back in .
stuck the bolts back in, stuck the wheel back on and torqued them up .
Then ah did the same on the other side
Thats it, job done
