heraldcoupe Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 "Remove hub nut."That's all it says in the workshop manual. Easy on the lefthand side, the righthand nut is nowhere near as cooperative. Has this got a lefthand thread, even though it's not mentioned in the manual? I have tried a 2ft long Snap-On extension bar with my (not inconsiderable) weight applied. The car moves despite chocks and handbrake, but the nut doesn't. Cheers,Bill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deleted User Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 Bill, According to the parts list, the nut on each driveshaft is the same part number , CKP 7058 , so they must both be RH threads. They are done up very tight - initial spec is 150Nm. Are the brakes working - get someone to put their foot on the brake pedal ! Did I give you a copy of the parts list, or have you lost it ?

heraldcoupe Posted April 25, 2007 Author Share Posted April 25, 2007 Hi Kevin,I never thought to check the part numbers, you'd think it would be instinctive by now! :-)I've not stripped the brakes, I think they still hold pressure though.Cheers,Bill.

Toledo Man Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 I'm glad that's a job I ain't doing on either Becky or Project Blue... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heraldcoupe Posted April 26, 2007 Author Share Posted April 26, 2007 The car is a breaker, very rotten in all the important places. I don't need the driveshaft itself, it has to come off to get the engine out. At a push I'll pull as much of the suspension as I need to get it out, just helpful if I can leave it largely intact so it can go back down on it's wheels,Cheers,Bill.

Toledo Man Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 Just remove the front anti-roll bar, disconnect the lower wishbone and then the driveshaft can be removed from the gearbox. I know this from when I did Becky's gearbox swap following last year's HCR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nigelscott Posted June 9, 2007 Share Posted June 9, 2007 from what i remember, break the peining on the nut/ clean any rust off, and it should come free, althouth you may have to attach a scaffold bar to your breaker bar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heraldcoupe Posted June 11, 2007 Author Share Posted June 11, 2007 I used a 2-foot Snap-on breaker bar and stood on it. The wheel turned....... the front of the car was on the ground and the wheels were chocked!In the end I dropped the entire supension assembly from that side, it's sat in the barn with the driveshaft still attached,Cheers,Bill.
