what am I??

Dave, I am surprised you aint spotted it....

Bernie, thanks mate, will let everyone know, will be an interesting fitup. Am going for 30mm at the mo...

Will give everyone a clue...

You need a 22mm spanner to get em off.... oh and a bloomin big bar.

Drift and beer? thats still a rumour??? :drink:

try me

Its still difficult

ahh ime getting it now :roll:

What is it then Dave?

I could well be interested in the first exchange set - would need a hand with the swap though

Lawrence

Brackets for dropping the axle?

As many of you already know, the higher you lift the car the steeper the cv joints have to be. To a point where I now slice my cv boots off if I fully articulate (cv shaft touches outer edge of cup, boot gets pulled in and it cuts a very neat edge in 1 revolution)

1 solution is to lower the car a tad :cry:

2 solution, lower diff to bring it and the hubs back into alignment and keep the lift :dance:

I have a spare set of cv's and diff hangers, so it was just the effort missing to get into it. Oil seals are about £16 a set (they don't come off) bearings have come off, that get it stripped to the piccy with half shafts out.

I will do mine and if it works weld up the old ones, then mod them to pass on. You will need to re-use or replace your own circlips,seals and bearings.

Obviously will help out too.

Mods to members and trays TBA, have a spare member too, bring yer own bash plate (aint doin everythin)

hmmm i will be keeping an eye on this,oh and ime available weekends if you need a lift alex :wink:

Cheers Dave, could be a full meet :lol:

Im volunteering aid cause I wants some

Willing to travel to see this.

Alex, I now have the same problems as you re: splitting gaitors. The split one I replaced went after the weekend.

Let me know where and when will do me best to makes it up

TBH Phil,
If you want the experience for yourself then of course your welcome, but wouldnt expect someone to come that far to secure a set. You will of course be a priority for getting a set :wink:

Wonder if anyones breaking a few A's.

Hmmm... There is a possibility I may come up for the social side of things anyway, and there is also the possibility that I may have the front diff off the car sometime soon as I have to do front brake discs and CV joint boots all round as well as rear propshaft UJ's AND sort something out with those gearsticks. Had a shower of water in the car after a deep water crossing at Strata Florida. Alternatively I may try and make do with just the spacers and see how I get on with those.

Always welcome mate, with the tops flipped and if youve had the 4 bolts out of the lowers recently then removing the hub is a doddle. cv's will then depart easily for working on.
Up to you on the spacers.
Upon inspection the 2 mounts on the hangers are actualy some sort of pressed rubber bush. It explains why each turn with a bar needed a good 120 degrees of movement to get any sort of turn on the bolt.

As Iv been overbooking myself a bit lately can we confirm when this meet will be taking place?

erm.
Gimmie a dry weekend day to remove. Then it'l likely be the next dry weekend day.

So December ish I reckon. :roll:

Couple of weeks If I get breaks ith weather, or a beautiful evening or two.

Ok, best I just see when its all taking place and see if I can make it.
