Anyway Im philosophical about the event. 

I have learnt a valuable lesson and am just happy to be typing this. 

Hugs to you all xx

Got it back up on new unflat stands

Getting my neighbours bro who is a 4wd guy round tomorrow

Well i got 12 bolts and one axle  out after fire, penetrating oil x2 and ugga dugga did their things. 

Then I was just lifting the upper wishbone a inch to allow me to swing the calliper out and my fat neighbour came and leand on it. 

End result ultimate slam.

If it's too much trouble to change them before you need to use it in anger, just cut them off, slit the new ones length-wise, fit & superglue back together. Re grease and clamp.

Total fucking bodgery at it's finest but will last a surprisingly long time.

Its getting close

Hit up youtube, I got lost in all the videos of people doing cv's on hiluxes. I don't know them well enough to pick the right one to suit your Hilux.

Tried that. They all just undo on the youtubes

Is this the drive flange? It had a tin dust cap on the end?

You don't need to remove the drive flange for pulling out the axle. You will need to remove the circlip that was on the end of the spline shaft under the dust cap.

Pop the lower ball joint, turn the steering to the left and hopefully that will be enough to swing the hub off the end of the shaft.

If you take the drive flange off the only thing you're going to access under there is the wheel bearings. 

No the thing on the'diff' that the cvs joint comes out of.

Do you have a manual impact driver?  They're pretty good for stubborn nuts, they shouldn't be that tight. 

Nope
