Vintage Grumble Posted May 19, 2014 Author Share Posted May 19, 2014 Why not? Stretchy it is then. I put a pic up, look at the crazy ass end of the shaft. ITS CRAZY.

Vintage Grumble Posted May 19, 2014 Author Share Posted May 19, 2014 I think i'll pull the other end apart, slap it in the lathe, machine the weld off, rebuild and weld it up again. I think this will be the easiest/cheapest way to sort it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xsspeed Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 if you grind it out, you will feel so terrible welding it back up again, release your inner farmer (/arc welder) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vintage Grumble Posted May 19, 2014 Author Share Posted May 19, 2014 I have access to a lathe, but not a die grinder, lols. J5, I already have boots, and pit stop will charge me to use machine, so they can get fucked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vintage Grumble Posted June 5, 2014 Author Share Posted June 5, 2014 So yeh, ground welds off with angle grinder, which was tricky as the bearings were so close to the welds, but i'm a master angle grindsmen, so was all good. Re welded the bearing doofer back on, with tinfoil to keep slag out of bearings, puhuhuhuhu. The CV bands were to short for the tool, so had to improvise. Lovely. Then I pulled more crap off here. Racks a bit worn, mud and water inside the boots didn't help much either. Cleaned it all up, greased it, and applied new rack boots. Fitted new bushes and lower ball joints. Tight. Then machined up the disc's, and slapped in new pads. I then filled up the diff, slapped all the back seats and belts back in, along with a few other bits, and drove it 260km. It drives quite nicely amazingly. Things still to do include, but are not limited to, Rust Exhaust Rust Timing and a tune up Rust Sort out the lights Rust Get the heater core or tap working Rust Fix or buy drivers side window reg Rust Then hopefully start applying try hard 4wd accessories, like roof baskets, spot lights and bull bars Then fix a bit more rust Regards, VG. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
