Right, I finally managed to get the screw out of the disc by wacking a flat bit in and then firing up my air impact driver!! but,,,, The disc was a different story, it would not budge, hours of banging and soaking in plusgas (which i did clean off!) she would not budge, so i did the big hub nut up and put caliper etc back on, couldn't feel any grinding when turning the hub but could not turn it far, no wobble at all though, so hoping the bearings survived!, wheel back on, still no play/wobble so good, but when i did hub nut up I stood on the ratchet as my torque wrench would not go up to 192 ftlb, i was a bit worried about damaging the diff or something but i did it as tight as it would let me with ratchet and small bar on the end, I burred the nut a little into the shaft but it didn't want to bend in with hammer and punch, so not sure what else i can do,
also when i did the hub nut tight I noticed some diff oil came out from the bottom of the plate behind the disc,,, is that normal!??
I also jacked the other side up and checked for play but that was ok,
will take it a few gentle trips and check it, hopefully i've saved it though as that disc is not gonna come off!!!
I couldn't turn the disc enough to bang it at different places, how are you supposed to turn it on a permenant 4x4 without all 4 wheels in the air?? or is that the only way?
thanks guys


To get the wheel to turn you have to have both wheels off the floor. But always remember to chock the front wheels first.
 
Just an update,,, I am still driving it on the same hub, wheel is still on!! but ordered a second hand one off ebay to slap on somewhen, but just to say these must be strong as it survived what happend! just don't really trust it 100% now!
she's coming on nicely now, and i'm getting 9mpg!! so not bad!!! just wish i could sort this gas convertion out, it's all there just not doing anything! frustrating!
 
Hey Richie ... just watched your video's...
what a true inspiration for everyone... that expression is sometimes used too readily, but in your case - it don't even get halfways there :)
all the very best to you man... you're an absolute star.
Have a brilliant Christmas,
take care.. and thanks again for the inspiration that your dedication to everything fosters.
Truly fantastic... what a guy ;) :)
 
update! I have had the new hub sitting in the shed now since before xmas but the car is still running on the old one and there seems to be no noise yet!

do p38 rr's make a sort of whiney grindy noise as a rule from the gearbox/transfer box area under accelleration, it's not loud or anything it's just a sound that goes when i lift off the gas and don't know if it's normal as the transfer box has chains etc I just expect to hear only the v8!
thanks guys,
