Well i've pulled the whole rear of the spit apart, and found that the yolk on one of the flanges on the driveshaft was cracked so this means a new driveshaft... yawn. Going to get the hubs split, check the bearings if OK as the oil catchers had rusted through and im worried water has gone.
I have also dropped the diff which has been wire brushed but still has surface rust. I think the I will replace the front seal on the diff as it's leaking (presumably from this). The oil which came out of it was like honey, and black so will also be replaced!
It's not looking too good under the spit though, dont fancy going under there too much with a grinder though on my back... Advice?
I also split the rear leaf spring apart and started painting it. White, as that's all i had at hand! Oh well, wont be visible once in so that doesn't matter
Just need to replace the spacer tubes, bolts and buttons between the leaves.
Not much else going on really as i've been at university. Hope to progress some more over the next few days, but wont be doing anything more for another couple of months unfortunately.
Cheers
Louis
