Same. I ended up splitting a cv boot and smashing my finger against the brake disc with a 4 lb club hammer. So im sorting the boot out this weekend in the freezing cold. Can't wait!
Is it possible to change the outer cv boot on the passenger side driveshaft? or is it quicker/easier to change the whole shaft?
I just done my lower ball joints and they were a pig, ended up tearing my damn cv boot!
Ok thanks for the replies. I'll wack the brake carriers off tomorrow as I can't get my gun on the head of the bolt with them in the way.
Hopefully the gun will do it.
I'm not having much luck here. The two nuts on the lower ball joints undo lovely.
The nut on the pinch bolt came off lovely on both sides.
But I cannot get the pinch bolt out of the hub. Its bloody welded!.
Any tips?.
Tomorrow i'm gonna take the brake carriers off so i can get some decent...
As above for my 182 with cup packs.
Just had my MOT turns out my knocking noise and tyre wear is a worn lower ball joint and not the track rods. Which makes it easier and cheaper for me :D
Is it possible to get ones that fit straight on?.
You have the central stud going through the gearbox mount with an 18mm nut on top then you have the two 13 mm nuts either side. Well at the other end of the stud that the 18mm is on there is a nut underneath on the other end of the stud. Hard to explain. I could just about see it from underneath...
Don't think you can adjust the gearbox side. The two bolts on the sides are what holds it in place.
It's definately hitting the sub frame?
Have you checked the stud isn't loose on the gearbox side. Not the top bit, there's a nut underneath that can come undone. Bit tricky to get to.
Well the Samco must be the same size as the original pipe. So it's not hard to find out really unless your Samco reduces or increases before the metal pipe.
