Funnily I did my one on the Mk.I. 24 years old and it popped off the end of the idler with one smack of a lump hammer. I did have a 5' breaker bar on it at the same time.

1st March is okay for me, send grid, timings etc. Will bring tools.
This posting may have been helpfull, on the other hand probably not... Either way, I may have had drink when posting it in which case it's probably not as helpfull as it could have been
Work safe, and remember all technical problems can be resolved with a hammer, the trick is knowing where to hit it and how big a hammer to use (I often find it may also help to have a spare bit in the shed to replace the bit you have just mullered
)
Work in Progress (or not as the case may be) I give you.... 'O-no' the truck.

While were on reminders and all that, please give all the bolts that are due to come off a good soaking with penetrating oil.

1 the new uj's come with circlips. I've already removed the old ones and fitted one new uj but gave up trying to fit the other one because I broke the bearings so had to order another new one. 
2 heavy duty tank guard cleaned the painted
3 have been spraying all the bolts with wd40
4 we shouldn't have any problems with the shocks and abr bushes because they were taken off a couple of months ago when I fitted the +2 springs ( those spring will be up for sale when the +3 springs are on )
