We had a great 'laning trip yesterday -

www.bits4vits.co.uk/store/greenlaning-in.../04/17/blog_367.html

BUT...

I managed to disassemble the front offside CV, I couldn't get left lock, so had to shunt around corners to get home :(

I cracked my windscreen



I snapped my CB aerial in two



Here it is zip-tied to the waffle boards to keep us going for the day...

Let repairs commence! We need to be ready for a punch hunt on the 30th!

BALLS!



Literally! Ball bearings that is!



More in here, and pieces of CV...



Shafted too!



Empty CV :(

Ah well, as said, it lasted 48 trips, can't complain at that...

Might as well buy a new set then?

Stripped the whole lot in the end...



Nearside CV and shaft look ok...

Bearings are grumbling though :(

So the hubs are off and ready for new bearings -



And everything else is awaiting cleaning ready for the rebuild -



The kingpins were done recently when chasing the death (Zombie!) wobble...

I tried getting bearings and waterproof grease from the BigJimny store but both are out of stock?

So the bearings are on their way from JimnyBits and I managed to source the same grease off eBay... :( Sorry Martin, I tried!

All cleaned and ready for the rebuild...

Trail Gear / Longfield Shafts ordered from JimnyBits this morning (will be ordering matching rears soon too)

Front Wheel Bearings arrived from them in the post this morning, so the hubs have gone round to my mate's garage 100 yds from my house today for them to fit as and when they have spare time (it's cheaper then! ;) )

And a replacement mini whip aerial with a spring has arrived this morning too...

Meanwhile, Rob Storr came back with a price for a replacement short driver's side shaft and a CV, so they'll be useful as a full spares set...

Getting there, but oooh! my credit card hurts! :( :lol:

Just a replacement windscreen to arrange then :blush:

I thought you has Rob Storr CV's and shafts in the front anyway? You've not broken one of those have you?
