Well today was another day spent messing with the car
. Today's task was to get the front left corner stripped down, remove the driveshaft and tidy a few other little bits up. The front end came apart really easy having been taken apart before the fit the suspension, only took 30 mins unlike last time. Pretty simple job to do, now I'm just waiting on the new shaft being delivered from renault tomorrow
.
First job job was to remove the calliper and disc and loosen the hub nut with the 32mm socket. Big Allen key bit on a ratchet and a torx bit for the screw on the disc and they were off pretty quick (although everything was covered in CV grease) hate that stuff.
.
Then I had to drain the gearbox again.... The oil was only two weeks old and had done one trackday
but needs must. Have another 2.5 litres ready to go in tomorrow
quick photo of the driveshaft that coming off.
next i I loosened off the 16mm nut that holds the stabiliser bar on, thankfully they all came off easily as they were only replaced a few weeks ago.
Then I loosened the ARB drop link off the shock again using a 16mm spanner and a Torx bit, that came off a treat.
Then i I had to undo the lower ball joint with the 18mm spanner, this was an awful lot easier than last time lol.
then last but not least the 18mm pinch bolt that goes through the back of the hub.
Then I could pull the hub complete with the driveshaft that's stuck in out
