Disco is rotten beyond belief - dropped the bonnet and bits of the chassis fell off wont have to scrap it will be able to sweep it up into the wheelie bin !

Completely stripped down old axles from the old Disco down to bare casing. Nearly.
Came to a halt on the rear axle when I realised I don't have a 52mm box spanner. £6.25 spent on eBay should see the job finished next week.
Don't think the rear calipers have been taken off. Ever. What a sh*t bag those hex bolts were to get off!!
Both axles being taken back to bare metal and fully refurbed throughout ready to be swapped straight over later in the year.
And on that note - can anyone recommend the best method for getting in the nooks & crannies regarding the rust/paint removal?
I'm thinking rust and paint removing wheel or wire wheel on the grinder for the most of it.

air will get the loose stuf, a small screwdriver, nitromorse or crust will sort the rest
Sand blasting attachment for a Karcher
Rebuilt front axle , oil and greased it. Bled brakes.
Seems that annoying "clunk" is an accumulation of tolerances. No major wear in anything , but still a lot of play on front diff flange.
