So I've now got the new axle in, a good days work but got there in the end! Started to strip the old one to see the extent of the damage... still trying to get the shafts out, theres something very broken thats stopping them slide out! Funnily enough though, they will almost come out of the wrong end of the axle... me thinks the planetary gears aint there any more!!

Anyways, heres the state of the stub axle and the cv when it came out, I'll update on the state of the diff when i finally (somehow!) get the shafts out

Look how chewed up they are! I think the term is F***ed!

I think something picked up dont you? lol

New hover Landy now available!

OK managed to get the Diff out from the axle, **** what a job, took two of us with big medal poles and lots of smashing. What a shock it was inside once it finally came apart! Haha well ill let the pictures do the talking. Enjoy!

Oh and umm yeah, this was the rear diff that i may have slightly broke a couple months back. Woops!

This always is in the back of my mind when straining the landy up a steep hill off road, sometimes the sheer grip is amazing which must put a hell of a stain on the car. Good work.
P.S. what is the tyre & wheel sizes in the picture; looks good.

Thanks, I assume the wheels are 7" wide, you know type? I think I'll get these as the alloys are getting a bit scuffed.

No idea of make tbh... they are just the modular type you see about, and yes 7" I think. I prefer steelies cos if you dent one you can usually bend it back and be confident that it hasn't cracked or weakened too much unlike an alloy wheel.
