Believe it or not, my gearbox dipstick was just "unpopped" and it rattled much driving around. My dipstick "holder" at the top, where the stick stays put, has been sheared off and is gone, so i've zip tied it to make it not vibrate. Works like a charm. Might be worth checking, if it even has a...

Just used another hour session. Used a blow torch, heated around the whole swivel joint where the "taper" is, it is not moving :( i've also taken the bolts in, back them 4mm out ish and smack em, no movement. I can see the "split" a few places, but they do not seem to grow... ouch............. i...

The abs sensor is not a problem anymore, i sheared it of with a chisel inbetween the axle and swivel. And also got some bits out, but i’ll haf to put the swivel in a vice as @Flossie did so he understands my pain atleast :D Theres now a tiny, tiny gap at the upper side of the hub, going \ from...

I am really struggling to get the Hub out :( I managed to get the brake shield off by smacking a 7mm socket on the bolts. The abs sensor was STUCK, and i mean STUCK, it ended up that the cap flied away, while the rest of the sensor is inside the bore. Smacked the hub for 2 hours, no progress...

I did the o-rings on the matrix for almost a year ago. Its still dry there. Before i did the o rings carpet was wet and the floor all moist. Im going out in the garage now to tackle the hub

Not yet, haven't started to smack the hub yet. Tried to pry it a little 2-3 times but didnt really budge, but i didn't really give it anything either. I suppose i need to get the brakeshield of aswell, to take of the hub? What type of socket is there on the brakeshield? i tried using 7mm...

okay well i did the radius arm yesterday, took me a bout an hour to get both bolts aligned :eek: was hard holding a crowbar under there.. would've been simpler with a scissor lift or what theyre called :D Everythings torqued up, i also changed the D bushes on the rollbar, including the links...

Just pushed the radius bushings out with the special tool.( LRT-60-004) Worked like a charm. Used just bellow 5 ton before they popped. Used about 4 ton installing. I did not usy any grease, neither did i do any sanding/polishing of the inside. It was looking all shiny there, with no "nuppings"...

Parts arrived. next weekend its gonna be bush replacements all over. F.L radius bushes, panhards, antiroll, stab links.. and balljoints..

nay, my bad. ive purchased the special tool for the radius bushes. Im talking about the panhard bushes now, or like anything else in general which wont need to be compressed before, pressed. As ive not owned/used a press before, im abit sceptic using sockets etc in order to press? May they...

Can i use the press thingy pipes from my C clamp kit in a 20tonne press? Or do i need a specific press kit for it

I bought a 20ton shop press :D

Ok, another lovely MOT failure was my front radius arm bush. Ive heard LRT-60-004 is the correct tool. My question however is, is theese "metal casts/tool" suitable to be used by a "c press" or must i have like a 10+ tonne shop press? I preferably want to swap the bushing without taking off the...

can i use the fish fingers instead of the ball joints in this procedure?

Heres what i bought, with some extras. do i need to grease up the bore before installing rhe new joints? cheers

Cheers for filling up my knowledge. Ive bought delphi ball joints 15£ each, from island4x4 Also bought complete abs sensor with bush and seal. i also purchased the driveshaft seal, but must i buy the expensive fit tool? Its like 100£, to just apply a seal. :confused: Looking at the tools for...

Yes. MOT failed, however i have almost 2 months to fix issues. Basically my left front is scrwd. Both joints, and the front bushing at the radius arm thingy... Also the dust thingy at the CV Joint.. Thats basically it, appart from my Transfluid leak which aparently also caught the MOTs eyes...

yeah i have shaved two sides on. Its quite stiff at the end, i reckon 10 cm is 0% bendable... The electric one you can hold and pump with one hand yes. That's why im interested in it. And a guy said to me to grease them up each 5000KM, thats not much, so i'll be under there almost 4 times a...

i think i stopped engine oil from dripping atleast... i swapped rocker cover gasket.

i will try to nip it up. I changed my brake fluid for 2 days ago. Apparently i didn't tightn the rear left bleed valve enough so it sure enough dripped out some.... Brakes works good now, but they still hang, i've had that issue for a while now. Brake pedal no longer spongy atleast
