Idid make it to Newbury, although in the wifes Disgay, I didn't see anyone there.
TBH some time ago i noticed the reinforcing on the rear axle casing had a small hole in,I ignored it, it got bigger.
The N/S hub has been leaking oil since i bought it, but the brakes have always worked fine so I ignored it.
The diff nose has been leaking for a while...
At the Christmas do Muckypup kindly donated a rear axle casing which has been travelling/banging around JE style in the rear tub since
As Ive been off work after a minor op (not stone related) and the weather has been good,if a little cold, I bit the bullet and stripped him down.
So, it going to be a full clean and repaint of parts, new seals,lands,bolts,shoes,brake pipes,the works, Ive even powerbrushed the rear chassis and red oxidededed it while its accessible
One thing to note is, I need bigger axle stands, 3 ton halfrauds are fine for routine
**** but removal of an axle needs something taller,Machinemart do some tall 6 ton jobbies for around £40, I will be purchasing some soon.
I may post some pics of oily parts followed by painted parts followed by new parts.
