2 x drive member ,hub caps ,bolts ,nuts washer and splint pins for half shafts parts depend on age/vehicle let us know and ill give you part nos prices etc
Shouldn't take long, depending on how cooperative the old hubs are, maybe 15 - 20 mins a side. It's worth checking to see if the wheel bearing play needs adjusting or the bearings/ seal need replacing while the drive member is off. Parts as above (you might be able to recycle the drive member to hub bolts) age isn't necessarily a good guide. Count the splines on the driveshaft, older ones are 10 spline, newer are 24. Total cost £30 to £40.
its a 1970 ex military 2a dont sound two bad a job then .20 -30 mins a side take me more like an hour or so .will see if i can get the bits from famous four .due to them not being to far from me thanks for that .the jobs keep mounting up but it s useable now .so thanks again cheers
It might depend on the type but the ones I used to have had an o-ring between the selector thingy and the outer cap. it was the type with the ring of screws around the outer cap, took the cap off, used an o-ring kit to replace. It still weeped, though.
