Buy some new rings. I imagine the 57.1 is on the ring, therefore with the ring removed you have a much larger hole. A larger hole that can be shrunk down to the correct bore by using spigot rings. My wheels are from a Polo but just bought the correct spigot rings to fit the hole to bring it...

Crack the outer spining colour off with a chisel and then smash a socket ontop of what you are left with.

Fred, A mate of mine works with a 'Renault master tech' and he seems to think a non genuine shaft will do the job, but I have read on here that the non genuines can catch and cause issues. He seems to think that Renault have in the past fitted non genuines if they didnt have any genuines in...

Well what a pain in the ass this has been! It took ages of whacking with a huge hammer to get it out. And obviously the ends of the threads were shagged. Tried to grind it down to good threads, but out of 10 hub nuts from various cars I tried only two would fit, and the threads in both were...

Normal ones will do ;)

I paid less than £2 each. I probably got the wrong ones by the sounds of it then..

Ive left it to soak with half a can of lube so hopefully it will have loosend. Don't have access to heat :(

Right. I am changing my CV boot as I split it when I dropped my shock on it :o I have removed the hub nut, and tried to knock the shaft through the hub but it is 'welded' on there. I haev wacked it with a mallet to protect the threads and the end, and then put the nut back on and whacked it...

Got a motrio one from renault and its not very stretchy and has crap clips included so going to just get another universal stretchy boot to do it.

The ITG is worth it for the fact its washable. Apart from that, you aren't going to notice a difference.

Drive onto a thin block paving brick so I can get the scissor jack under the sill. Raise enough to get a low entry jack under to the chassis rail and jack on that. Lowered FTL

How much do you bend them? Just push up until resistance or actually give it a good whack with a hammer and hope for the best?

Crack off the spinning collar with a chisel, and then hammer a socket on.

Is Kerry a woman?

Its simple if you have access to an engine crane, or can get the donor car on its roof for easy removal.

carrier bag on exhaust, inner arch come loose and rubbed on tyre etc. Could be many things. Get the wheel off and have a look.

If that was the case, ask for the tyres that the car would have come with as standard when new. Not a standard budget tyre.

Agreed. I got money knocked off when buying my car as it hadn't had the belts done and they were due. I drove home and straight to the garage where it was booked in to be done. I got it done for less than the money saved, but the seller agreed that it was harder to shift to entusiasts that are...

^ that clears it up. I though the tool was needed for it either way. I'l get the Renault one and take everything apart. At least that way its done properly with a decent part.

I have just had a look on ebay at the 'stretch' boots. If I got one of these, I would be able to do the outer boot with the shaft left in the gearbox? If I buy a genuine renault boot, I won't need the tool will I? As I will be removing the CV joint from the shaft.
