O.K. I'll bite. I'll take A frame bushes/ball joint, worn prop UJ and sloppy diff?
Guess that should cover it between us.

Hi Kev, it is getting there. Finished with your Jack, many thanks for that will drop it over to you on the morrow.
Just bolting it all back together now, ordered new UJs for the props, in the end only one needs to be replaced but it is just as well to carry a spare methinks. Building up a reserve of tab washers and other consumables too as a safety measure
Rear prop is well seized, no back and forth movement and UJ doesn't flex either so I am guessing trhat was the cause of the failed output bearing in the first place. MOT should be imminent as soon as I get the motor moving again.
How about you... all set to play yet?

Glad to hear you're on the finishing line. I'm not in bad shape, engine all back together and running sweet. Tomorrow I'm hoping to do rear diff pinion seal and an overhaul on the prop shafts, might replace the ball joint gaiters as well. Will need a new rear section for exhaust, it is too loud the way it is - straight through with just a small cherry bomb on the back.

BTW gang... Kai's been up to his neck in it tonight, going at the prop with a big hammer, removing the circlips ready to fit a replacement UJ and most importantly... organising his new toolbox and the tools in it. (Funny how my toolbox seems so much lighter this evening )
Thinking about doing a mini series of photos... landy maintenance for the 9 year old... what do you think worthwhile?

Hi all hope alls well
I should be back on the road tomorrow gearbox is back in most parts back together only have exhuast props and cubby box to refit then gotta change the oil in the engine and front diff then all sorted (till next time)
For those who are intrested the problem with the gearbox turned out to be that it snapped the welds on third gear so it split apart will post some pics of it tomorrow.
Hope to see you all soon im gonna try and find a beer!!
