blue beasty
Leaks an prone to bits dropping off
Was off to work this morning and coasting to a halt and heard a nasty grinding coming from nearside front.....limped to workshop 
Unbelieveable amount of play on the bearings, can't believe I couldn't feel it driving
Stripped it down and the centre tab of the lock washer on the hub nuts had snapped off and they've been working themselves loose for fook knows how long
Gave it all a clean up and grease and re-assembled with an old lock washer (I know I know) and seems half reasonable to keep me plodding along til the weekend and new bearings.
Then a mate turns up with a slipping clutch so I have a quick look and the clutch slave seals are gone and I happen to have a spare......
NOW look at the time :doh: and I int earnt a penny............oh well.......might as well go and adjust the tappets

I had a look through the Haynes Manual to see which of the jobs I need doing are one or two spanner jobs.
Have decided that btw eldest daughter and I we are two spanner competent but am just a bit concerned that one of the two spanner jobs is brakes

clutch went tuesday mornin.,..
tried to get seized bolt off clutch slave last night with an irwin bolt grip set... just chewed head up even more..
so tonite i welded a nut on the rounded bolt and got it out..
push rod connected to fork moves in an out with no resistance at all.. so am guessin fork gone.. took out centre consol, both props, gearbox mounts and cracked all the bell housing bolts bar the one top right, need some extensions for socket set...
hopefully with a little help tmoz, should have fork replaced...
