Project Rapid Workhorse

[M-R-P]

I think Leedsfinest managed to rebuild his on his S60R (I think it was him, not 100% on that) but it failed after a while.

Bummer mate.

Heindsight is always 20/20 (at the Megadeth song goes). that's what the how to section is for.

Lives and learns mate.

Best start a "driveshaft wanted thread" lol ?

i rebuilt mine. theres a nack to it. i did chuck my toys out the pram a few times though

[M-R-P]

It's something I'd have a go at but luckily, I've managed to not do it. I came close a while ago, when I had my wishbones off, just about got away with it tho.

[danny-R]

Not had chance to have a go at it will have a bash after work. I doubt very much I'll be able to do it with my limited mechanical knowledge and very short temper lol I'll prob just end up replacing it. Would it have to be from a 6 speed box like mine?

[M-R-P]

Think theyre universal mate but don't quote me on that...

[danny-R]

So I could use a diesel one? Or any p2 for that matter? Will have to go scrap yard mooching after work

[M-R-P]

Double - check first mate Contact PFV (other parts dealers are available) and see if the part numbers match.

[graemewelch]

[danny-R]

Looks like it's sorted managed to slot it back together and took it down the road and seems fine just need some cv boot straps. Just before I crack on with the rears could somebody be so kind and paste the link with the how to please I've had a browse on my phone and not much came up don't want to make another school boy error

There's a thread where a few of us have shared our experiences on the subject, It's been about recently too.

Basically you need to feed the spring compressor up inside the middle of the spring and jack the hub down to get it all out - it's a pig and those springs are BIG mate, and the hole it has to go through isn't very big.

[danny-R]

It's a bit of a ball ache this compared to the front how do you jack the hubs down lol

[M-R-P]

Personally, I undid the trailing arm but that seems to screw with the rear tracking a bit. I also snapped a bolt which took 2 hours to remove

Try this it's the thread I was on about.
