Hi, I'm about to fit a new Thrust washer(FTC 56) to a new Stub axle on my discovery 300tdi Auto. Is it a case of pressing the new one onto the stub axle? Would this be possible with a vice or is a press required? I'd like to keep the old stub axle, as it's only the thrust washer...

Discocool, It's. Sat on my drive with a RH ball joint, threaded into the passenger side (LH) I've done a search and the tracking rod requires x2 RH Threaded ball joints so I require another RH threaded ball joint. Bemmy

So when I bought them should I have got x2 RH thread ball joints? The diagrams show two different part No's for LH & RH THANKS Bemmy

Roger that pikey, thanks for your time/ advice Cheers Bemmy

Morning Guy's, My 300TDI's Air con pulley (not tensioner) 'the bottom one' is making a racket, looks like bearings have gone as its not sitting straight on the bolt, can I disconnect the belt,(thin one) or does this belt drive anything else? could any damage occur if I use it? Appreciate any...
