Date: Mon, 09 Jun 1997 11:59:14 +0100 From: Mick Forster <cmtmgf@mail.soc.staffs.ac.uk> Subject: Re: FIRST BROKEN HALF SHAFT! Bren & Lynne' Workman wrote: I have been lucky in the past in that the rear half-shaft breakages have broke close to the drive-flange at the wheel end of the shaft, so removal was fairly quick and then careful and slow use of the Landy to get home using 4-wheel drive for the front wheels has worked. BUT, recently I changed the front left (long) half shaft which had broke about 6 inches from the nut. Since the last snow when I found that 4-wheel drive wasn't working properly there had been a tinkleing sound sometimes from the front end. I had thought that this was a wheel bearing needing attention, when I could get round to it. Such noises should not be ignored!! Having said that it passed its MOT in March with very little needing to be done and they didn't notice anything. Anyway, last week I was going to work, a bit late as usual, and upon applying the brakes at the end of our road the left front locked up, I had to reverse to release the brake shoe to get it to move again ....... I left it at home and went in the Metro. That evening I started to investigate sticky brakes. Took the wheel off and the brake drum, nice coating of black oil everywhere, so there you go just new shoes for the time being, then think again! The hub was very easy to turn and had no effect on the front prop-shaft ,oh I thought and removed the half-shaft nut and drive flange, I now had six inches of half-shaft in my hands. Its getting late so leave the thing on axle stands and go to bed. Next evening further investigations - removing wobbley swivel-housing - revealed disintegrated swivel bearing, removal of the hub had shown a useless oil seal behind the wheel bearing. The following Saturday I obtained a second-hand half-shaft in reasonable nick, new swivel bearing, oil-seal and various tab-washers. All day Saturday and most of Sunday I spent putting it all back together. The swivel housing oil-seal leaked at first but after three goes at cleaning it finally with a clean cloth damp with meths, it worked. So now a week later and 50 odd miles all seems ok ( steady on, but I did say SEEMS ok!) Moral: don't ignore noises, fix half-shaft breakages immeadiatly, keep those swivel housings topped up and if they leak clean the oil seal scrupulosly ( or something) Mick Forster cmtmgf@mail.soc.staffs.ac.uk http://gawain.soc.staffs.ac.uk/~mick/landpics.html ------------------------------[ <- Message 2 -> end | Table of Contents | <- Digest 970610 -> Archive Index | <- Browser -> ]

From: Lodelane@aol.com Date: Mon, 9 Jun 1997 07:37:51 -0400 (EDT) Subject: LRO Shafted in MD Just a public note of thanks to Nate Dunsmore. I was able to drop by yesterday and pick up the rear drive shaft for my 88, which "should" go in tonight (given I don't break another u joint yoke). Nate has a very nice RHD 88" IIA that he frameovered himself (and has provided the list with its trials and tribulations), an enviable layout - shop and an overhaul/frame over area, plus outside storage for vehicles "in transition". Plus, he's a consumate gentleman. Again, Nate, Thanks!!

From: "John McMaster" <john@chiaroscuro.co.uk> Date: Mon, 9 Jun 1997 14:12:51 +1:00 Subject: Re: was.. steering and tyres I was forced to go to a Kwi***t garage near Southampton a few years ago. They put their air gun on the nuts - after I lent them my 1.25" impact socket (they did not have a 27mm either). Did not move as nuts were lightly rusted on (I now use marine grease). Next came a Snap On long hinged handle, all this resulted in was a sheared Snap On handle! I laughed and said at least they would get it replaced then got out the usual £6 solid steel wheel brace and Tirfor handle (about 3' extension) and undid it easily. Did not give me a discount though. > G'day Richard, > My local tyre shop is now used to me asking them not to tighten the wheel [ truncated by list-digester (was 21 lines)] > >(they *were* responsible for 1 of the 4 wheels being too tight!). > >Richard (ex-Gurkha SIII 109 FFR) ______________________ John McMaster john@chiaroscuro.co.uk green/purple 110/Massey Ferguson ------------------------------[ <- Message 11 -> end | Table of Contents | <- Digest 970610 -> Archive Index | <- Browser -> ]
