So when are ye doin' yours Davie?

It's bin a while since the back axle went in but just got round to sortin' out these pics. After the donor axle came out....



it was time for a clean. Got the degreaser and me pressure washer out and gave it a bit of a blast...









Once it had dried off ah got stuck into it with awire brush, angle grinder, more wire brushes on the drill and some sand paper...







then it was time for the primer...



and paint....







wasn't too sure what ah was goin' to do with the ends, but decided to keep them instead of replacin' them, came up ok in the end...





and this is the axle dryin' in the sun after paintin' the ends...





just a couple of pics of the axle that ah was swappin' it for...





Almost ready to go in....




Ah decided that ah would do the brake lines while ah was at it as well.....











and this is the 'new' axle finally in...

No matter what you do you always manage to get a can of krony in the pic!













And a few in yersell

Excellent thread with nice big easy to see pictures and description.

If only the Haynes manual was printed like this I wouldn't spend half my life looking at tiny B&W pictures wondering what the hell it is meant to be.

Thanks for doing this for the benefit of others.
