just the ball joints to remove and put back in
did you get a axle seal?

Do you mean the big nut on the end of the drive shaft? No need to undo that to remove the hub and do the swivelsFirst stumbling block, the hub nuts are not budging. I folded the tabs out, applied plus gas. Tried my big dewalt impact wrench, tried a 2ft breaker bar to a point I was worried it would break, tried heat and giving it a wack whilst using the breaker bar no joy. Will see if I can get a longer breaker bar. Anything else I can try?
Gearbox oil? Interesting, I'll keep that in mind. Why didn't you paint it up @RangeRoller dtI painted mine with ATF on SS’s recommendation. Worked great few days later it had eaten all the crap off left it shiny whereas it started off very similar to yours. Cleaned up luverly for MOT. Thing was weeks later it had continued doing its thing and seemed crustier than ever. Came off is decent enough now though. Evil stuff never get it on you.

EP90? What is that for??I did? With atf
Was too rough like ^^^ above. Maybe when I get round to doing these ball joints itl be gooderer now. Still need EP90 (that’s shot up in price!), splitter to pop the track rods off, and new hub bolts (£32!). Possibly abs sensors/CVs/hubs who knows .
Unsure wether to get a gear puller for the hubs or what size? Once it’s off il be stuck here til it’s done without the p38 to take me anywhere.
Not if your good with a bangy stickThat’s what I thought , but the tops and bottom look hard to get to
75wEP90 is the oil I’ve been putting in the diffs? Main job is shaft oil seals and ball joints. Been weeping while so new fluid or atleast a top. Last time I changed it was when I first signed up here and likely not done before that.EP90? What is that for??
Is that a wind-cheating mic above your 6th finger?You just need one or two good hammers to pop the track rod ends Jack lad. A good few sharp blows on the hole the track end fits into and it'll eventually pop out
