Ceaser Posted July 15, 2011 Posted July 15, 2011 Well stripped down the rear inner hub only to find this..........Looks like someone has had a good go at it in the past :-/Thinking of getting it machined out and back to normal what you think??
heraldcoupe Posted July 15, 2011 Posted July 15, 2011 Don't bother, just get another one as there are plenty of scrap driveshafts out there,Cheers,Bill.
Ceaser Posted July 15, 2011 Author Posted July 15, 2011 Well had a look on ebay but nothing at the moment
Rich_s Posted July 15, 2011 Posted July 15, 2011 You are not alone, this is what mine looked like when i took the hub to be seperated at Canleys, slightly worn and knackered if you look at the bottom :)
Ceaser Posted July 15, 2011 Author Posted July 15, 2011 WOW i would change that one, but i think if mine is just machined down it should still be fine.
Rich_s Posted July 15, 2011 Posted July 15, 2011 It damaged the drive shaft as well so had to buy the lot brand new, luckily canleys had it all in stock for me.Lesson learnt, next time i buy a car to do up and put back on the road, must remember to jack up each wheel and test things like this first heheheheheRich
Ceaser Posted July 15, 2011 Author Posted July 15, 2011 Is that on the upper side of the hub aswell??
Rich_s Posted July 15, 2011 Posted July 15, 2011 No its the bottom, think i took the pic upside down, no idea how someone could leave it long enough to do this much damage though.
thescrapman Posted July 15, 2011 Posted July 15, 2011 CeaserWhere are you?I have soem outside in teh shed.Just not worth the cost of getting it machined, so many are just being weighed in.CheersColin

MarkB Posted July 19, 2011 Posted July 19, 2011 I have been stepping over four rear roto corners in my garage for years and finally decided to strip them down. Three of the four had the trunnion bolt seized and I had to drill them out carefully. On this one I noticed a flat on the edge which looks more like part of the casting, but as none of the others have it think it may have been battered in the past. What do you think, is it knackered?CheersMark
