    Washer Jet Nut

    Best of luck with the 'project'. I'm amazed at the care taken by previous owner to have everything colour coordinated, yellow lighter, yellow shotgun cartridges!.....

    Drive Flange

    Axle kept in situ by a piece of old broom handle And that's it, an easy and satisfying job. There's still 'frost' on the axle! Thanks again to @rob1miles who planted the seed of the idea.....
