No chance - still nor finished.


Hub would not separate from the drive shaft - tried my hub puller now destroyed.
Tried a bit of heat but no use.
Tried driving the shaft backwards through the hub and bearings = gradually increasing hitting tool in size until I was swing a 14lb sledge hammer all I achieved was a mushroomed nut and driveshaft.
So I got the angle grinder out and cut of the remains of the nut and tried the sledge hammer again - nada.
Cut some slots in the hub flange and started beating it again - nothing no movement not even a thou.
Time to take the arm off - at least that was straight forward.
On the bench cut the flange until all that was left was this
and finally the shaft starts to move.
Then its a case of gathering up all the bits, dismantling a spare shaft for the splined end and flange.
Flange needs drilled out to take the longer Ford wheel studs.
Got the arm back on, drive shaft fitted but getting a bit late for making noise so finish up.
Hopefully get it finished tomorrow evening if its not raining.
