was out cleaning the crud off me axles today so i can actaully find the bolts to get stuff off! i knew the swivel seals needed doing but after getting all the grease/poo/mud off them looks like i'll be needing new baws an all!

thought they were supposed to be shiny!!

anyone know of a good supplier of swivel ball kits? paddocks are looking for £69.99 a go....

there's grease in them but it leaked bloody everythere! they were caked in mud/grease before i got the power washer on them...... the seals are shot but i'm thinking thats cos they were sealing on that rusty surface!

shurley not!! i'v just got some new balls today, get them in and new diff's plus a hellofalot of paint and they'll be as good as a rusty pile of crap covered in paint!


i'll allow you first laugh when one of the axles snaps in half though!!
