Sorted it, I fitted a used stub axle, she's back on the road.

Yeah the bearing sits on that raised shoulder nearest the cv and seal is in front of it? Well mine is a loose fit on that shoulder, hmm something's wrong here

The thing is!! the seal is there to stop the swivel greas from going up the stub axle right? Looking at it the seal is a loose fit on the splined shaft coming from the c/v so that cant be right??? Iv just seem a pair of disco stubs for sale at a breakers £10 in good used nick, im tempted

cheers mate. that reassuring. I love turtles :D:D:D:D:D i love that.

Right ongoing saga, I ordered a stub axle and cv joint for my defender it's a td5. Looking at the old stub axle it's got a bronze thrust bearing pressed on the stub. New one has not, the kits does not contain one. Haynes says refer to main stealer. I can get one from a local supplier (I...

Yes mate cheers! iv got a digital luggage scale i used last time. Thing is after a few years and 1000s of miles they would need adjusting but does anyone actually adjust them??? Discomania YOU SIR ARE A LEGE

Gents, has anyone got a list of torque settings for the front hub bolts? Things like disc to hub bolts, caliper bolts and swivel ball to axle and any others that I can think of? Please? Many thanks cheers:deadhorse::deadhorse::deadhorse:

It's enough to make me want to self harm. I'm off to look on autotrader for a suzuki jimny

Oh no!!! I'm so so so sorry, I didn't see that in time. It's off!! All in pieces now. Amazingly it's now obvious why the thing was so stuck. It took an hour and a half to cut/chisel the drive flange off. They are recessed into the hub a fair way and I was going canny hoping to save the hub from...

Angle grinder is at the ready, I'm about to cut a slot in the flange as per locky1978 suggestion. I would have done this earlier but I had to strip it enough to get this back home to a power point, I was hoping the bits would arrive today but no luck. I can't believe this has gone so bad, I...

It's like is welded on, I was hoping that the oil might have seeped in over night but no. I'll teach it a lesson tomorrow

Yep your right Brown! I gave up. I took the swivel ball pins out and pulled every thing off inc. the drive shaft. Iv separated the half shaft from the cv joint. Got a new cv coming tomorrow. So now iv got the hub, disc, swivel housing and cv etc all in one lump. I'm going to attack it in a...

No it looks like someone's used iron oxide mate

Yep well it broke into a million pieces, After much hitting 2 washers fell off, which try as i might i didnt see before they fell off, it was that rusty. I cleaned the splines up with a wire brush sprayed it with penetration fluid:p Then i got 2 blow torches on it and got it nice and hot but i...

may as well its proper ####ed anyway:( Cheers lads

Do you mean the bolts that hold the swivel ball to the rest of the axle? If I undid them and pull the half shaft out maybe I could separate them on the bench

Right, went and got the bits to do my front wheel bearings to cure the annoying noise. I undid the drive flange bolts and the flange is totally seized solid on the half shaft. Iv heated it, sprayed it and heated it hit it shouted at it. Top and bottom iv knackered the drive flange and the end...

I'll do that, been thinking it anyway cheers

Lads a need some advice, Iv put a thread up about this before and iv got nowhere with it. When driving my td5 defender, sometimes when going round a left hand bend there is a rhythmic hum hum hum noise. Like the tyre is fouling something, but it's not.... It's not all the time but generally...

Mines a TD5, I dont know what it had, i defo saw the little silencer at the back. But it did sound good! is a cherry bomb an actual make or just a term used for a free flow exhaust?
