Wendy Dawes Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 (edited) Took Mabel out last Sunday to test the planned route for west mids drive it day to Chatsworth. She duly completed the 110 mile round trip but suspect a worn drive shaft UJ on the way home. Got back ok but is it possible to change a UJ on drive shaft without removing the whole thing, just completely replaced her braking system front & rear looks like having to disconnect the rear brakes again any suggestions welcome thank you Edited March 30, 2022 by Wendy Dawes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yorkshire_spam Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 You might be able to wangle the drive shaft out with the slave cylinder and back plate still attached to the flexible. (but you'd need a driveshaft puller) You might even manage to do the job with the shaft still on the car, but that would be a huge faff and you'd need to work underneath. I'd clamp the flexible and pull the whole lot off and do the job on the bench... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Sam, looks like taking the whole hub and shaft out as I’ve put stainless braided hoses on, obviously can’t clamp them 🙄 either way it’s a bugger !!!!
