Shaft back into hub....

[Oggy997]

Changing my abs rings as the pedal fart is really getting annoying now!

I've taken off the caliper, disc, undone the strut, pulled the shaft from the hub & just about to refit the new ring.

For reassembly, will I get the shaft in the hub easily? I test ran it and the splines locked very early on & I couldn't get any pressure on the shaft to push it back in to the hub... Am I missing something?

Should be as you described. If it's n/s it's easier. Pull the hub back on the ball joint and the shaft should go in no problems. Make sure you put copper slip on the driveshaft.

Cheers! I managed it yesterday, forgot I lowered the other side of the car overnight while I waited for a hub puller. Was difficult as I was fighting the ARB, once jacked up it was relatively easy.

One side done now, need to source new caliper bolts & hub/strut bolts before I begin the other side. Dread to think how much they'll cost new!
