Freelander Propshafts

just on the phone to them now.

Thing is, I have not separated the 2 parts yet...

You could stick it back on the car and go for a bit of a thrape about... that should seperate the rest of it for you fairly sharpish - the yokes busted and I'm pretty certain you're not going to be able to weld it back up and have it work.

ooooooooooooo!

yu didnt wanna do tha.

Use a vice.

The VCU and props have obviously not been separated for years and the splines have corroded together. While you're waiting for replacement prop I would suggest some serious soaking in penetrating oil. Dann..

My brother in law stayed over at work for me to take it to him.

He tried it in a vice and it wouldnt have any of it so he got some heat onto it and then hit it a few times quite hard, it finally gave in and off it came

It had corroded together.

Its going to cost me over £200 to sort it now....

Why dont anyone sell just the bit that broke?

Gulp. . . .i'm sayin nuffink

Refreshing to see the application of Good Workshop practices.

Nothing like haste and brute force

wtf my series 3 ones wunt that bad and they had been on there since the 80s (when the UJs were changed last)

I can buy a used complete prop with vcu for between 150 and 250 quid or buy just the front prop and 1 x bearing mount brand new for £200...

I could buy the used one and then put my vcu and rear prop on ebay to get a little back.

Decisions decisions

do you really want to change your (hopefully good) known vcu for an unknown 2nd hand one ?
