nah just a nice long hot shower and a fish supper before i posted on here :silly: admittedly though - it did take me the best part of 7 hours to do both sides, but I think thats perhaps because I'm a bit of a perfectionist when it comes to cleaning out the parts :evil:

it doesn't matter how long it took if you did it successfully and saved the labour charges - well done :)

Only bit of advice is, to get the race out if you don't have access to a welder like shown in martins guide use a small punch or small cold chisel to tap round the small edge you can get on to. it is only a small lip but its enough to tap them out.

I've managed to do it without taking the joint apart and just hinging the swivel out of the way.


I used a suitably sized socket on an extention bar to knock the race out.

How did you find getting the shaft back in the diff without taking the joint apart - I'd not thought about it as being possible but then hadn't tried.

Theres plenty of room i found, i didn't have a lot of choice first time round as i broke my(dads:blush: ) joint splitter and it was all in bits so i just tried it!

And thats a good tip with the socket, i'll try that next time.
Black Jimny's don't get stuck!
