Decided to go for it today, started at 9am finished at 2.30pm

Overall not to bad of a job, did manage to break an ABS sensor, but lots on ebay so not to gutted

Hubs were a bit stubborn to remove but big hammer soon shifted them.

I take it you did not bother centralising the drive shaft to the new oil seals.

so where's the photos

Centralising is quite easy, apart from the round dirt guard that sits in the end of the axle that gives a pretty good indication I did it with a Vernier caliper. The Oil seals are pretty stout and the slop in the old lower joints would have left them not centralised anyway

I put new seals in as well

I'll take a photo if you like but it will have to wait until I fit the new ABS sensor which should be Tues-Wed eve
