yesterday -

removed rear hubs and separated discs ready for the new discs and pads to go on Thursday.. removed front left speed sensor ready for the new one as well... right now I am waiting for the requisite 30 minutes or so after removing the battery so I can take the steering wheel off and remove the PAS box... looks like I'm on schedule to get the MOT re-done a week Monday..

has anyone replaced a PAS box and want to comment on the steerig wheel removal cos I'm not mad keen to do it but with no experience in the operation I'm following the destructions in the RAVE CD which state

CAUTION: Before removing any parts of
steering linkage, it is imperative that road
wheels are positioned straight ahead.
Then steering wheel removed to prevent rotary
coupler being wound up or damaged.

oh and anyone ever wondered at the small size of the axle shaft in the rear.. I really expected it to be bigger...

and another thing.. one of my hubs was well oily the other was dry as a bone... obviously sommat wrong with one of them which one???

check ya axle breather is clear - if it aint - it will push oil out one end or another.

righto.. today I have ........

taken the drivers airbag off, taken the steering wheel off then




GIVEN UP...

no matter how I try I can't get the drag link and the drop arm separated so it'll have to wait now till I got enough cash to get it to the garage.. I'll order the parts and sort out the brakes and the ABS during my days off next week.... unless anyone has any other wonderful ideas...
