Do I need a new driveshaft?

[unrealrocks]

When taking my R/H hub off the end of the driveshaft has slightly been dented (picture below).

The hub nut doesn't slide over the end properly anymore - Would it be possible to just file this down?

Also what do you suggest for replacing the ABS sensors on both hubs? Renault want £160 per sensor!

Bump - Car's stuck on axle stands till this is sorted.

Thrashed it out with a hammer? I wouldn't say thats knackered yet, see what you can do.

Yep we, err, persuaded it out with a hammer - it was fairly well stuck in there! We'll try and file it some more and worst comes to the worst we'll replace it I guess.

Figured a new shaft would be more than £100 from Renault as they seem a complete rip off.

Cheers.

will the nut start?
i'd try and file it then run a rethreader down the threads and see if its ok

 

[bmh.01]

Yeh i'd go with that ^. Its not as if the actual driveshaft is damaged, will be fine it you can get the nut started.

 

[unrealrocks]

No the nut won't start, you're right I reckon it would be okay once we get it on the threads. Will file it more and look for a rethreading tool as you suggest.

Thanks a lot

yeah just need a thread chaser (rethreader)
