Driveshaft change... What else is needed?

[tobeski]

Looks like the o/s driveshaft is definitely dying so time to change it. Other than the driveshaft what else am I going to need...

New driveshaft
gearbox seal?..
hub nut
gearbox oil


Anything else?

Off side is the drivers side, it doesn't affect the box oil?? (Unless you're just changing it anyway?)

O/S shaft won't need gear oil.

 

[tobeski]

Ah ok that's handy, does that mean there's no seal needed either?

Yup! No seal.

Brilliant, so it's actually an easy enough job then. Just a new hub nut and driveshaft. Worse bit will probably be getting the nut off.

Get a proper torque wrench. Front hub nuts need to be tightened by 280Nm.
