Re: Restoration
Nothing exciting to add to the rather mundane axle refurbishment chapter, but I'll carry on anyway for completeness. I'm pleased with the paint so far, it's cured nice and hard and looks like it will afford a great deal of protection. Obviously this one is a UK product, but I'm thinking similar 1:1 ...

Re: Restoration
The rear propshaft looks to have suffered quite a bit of surface rust, but the joints and sliding spline seem to have been maintained. However, the UJ on one end was stiff on the shaft yoke side. No problem, just whip out the spider and pop a new one in (thanks Map for confirming UJ part number). No...

Re: Restoration
Whoever would have thought that one bolt in an axle drive flange could be so difficult. Glad I'm not having to do a "bush" repair. If you remember, I had the one bolt that just wouldn't shift and eventually sheared while trying to get it loose. https://i.postimg.cc/yxGTK9zt/IMG-20240507-16...

Re: Restoration
I've been concentrating on cleaning the rust off so hadn't rushed to look inside. Received my first order of new bits n bobs, inc. diff cover gasket, so opened up for inspection. https://i.postimg.cc/44DvLC3z/IMG-20240515-125555.jpg All looks perfectly fine. No sign of wear or anything to worry abou...

Re: Restoration
Today was as predicted, a repeat of yesterday; however, I managed to unbolt the drive flange without shearing any of the bolts this time. It took a lot of heat and perseverance with the rattle gun but eventually, I got all 6 bolts out undamaged. The rest was just repetition of what I did before. I g...

Re: Restoration
Back on the Salisbury axle today. What a struggle. I spent a good couple of hours fighting the bolts holding the drive flange in place. This was after already having to resort to chiseling off the hub cap which had rusted on solid. I tried heat, penetrant, shock, psychic commands, and harsh words, b...

Re: Restoration
I decided to clean the old paint and surface rust off of the axle case and final drive unit as my my next job, so today was rear axle day. It was the usual one man struggle getting the axle up to working height; the 2 tonne engine crane does a wonderful job at lifting but is a right b'stard to move ...

Re: UJs for rear prop shaft
Nope, I just wanted a number for the rear 109V8 propshaft UJs. I only mentioned the words 'spider' and 'hardy spicer' for those pedantic souls that might tell me not to call them Universal Joints (UJs). Thanks very much for your reply, I was unsure if the part number you quote was applicable to the ...

UJs for rear prop shaft
Does anyone know where I can find the correct part number for replacement UJs (spider/hardy spicer joints) for the rear prop?

Re: Restoration
After a lot of struggling alone I got some help, together it was not too hard to lift it out of the way. https://i.postimg.cc/P5h6TvRR/IMG-20240429-155357.jpg I decided to sort the rear axle before starting on the tub, so with it now out of the way, I got to work jacking the rear end of the chassis ...

Re: Restoration
Having been pondering next steps, I decided to first off, get the rear tub emptied of everything sitting in it and reorganise my workspace. Actually, the tub isn't that heavy, but it is a pretty awkward thing to lift and manoeuvre without at least 2 people. However, I could pivot it off off the rear...

Re: Restoration
Thanks for your help. That would work well "if" the chassis was on wheels and could be rolled. Of course, in my scenario, I need the tub out of the way so that I can work on the chassis, remove the rear axle, springs, etc., while it's under cover. Not a problem though as I'll shift the tub...

Re: Restoration
After fixing my house central heating/hot water system, I managed to find time to have another look at my tub First things was to pull the rear light wiring through, then free the stays at the front from the seat belt anchor points, and the 2 stays for the side seals. It was then a matter of jacking...

Re: Restoration
Since all my efforts thus far have been at the front end of the vehicle, it's about time I did a bit more on the back half. I've obviously got to finish off several jobs I started but have not finished, but taking a linear approach makes for pretty slow progress. I need to get the tub off to move fo...
