Reading this as I have the beginnings of red dust and a wee bit of slop/backlash at the rear, when moving it with the wheels up it sounds like the reflected 'clunk' I hear when driving near a wall.
Going to be changing brake pads soon, may as well clean/inspect/grease all four splines, oh and the swivel grease situation up front. Does anyone have a good list of do's and don'ts here, or is it all along the lines of 'if you find a circlip, take it off', 'if you find a bolt, unscrew it' and everything makes sense? Then just reverse process when going back together? Correct order maybe? Special tools? Easy, but non-obvious ways to get around certain tasks? Tightening torques for all the bolts?? I'm particularly interested in not stuffing up the brakes/brake hydraulics. Thanks in advance for your hard earned wisdom! Solved the bowel problem, working on the consonants... |

Changing the rear shafts/drives are a doddle,you don't even need to remove the (steel??) wheel (follow the same procedure),the fronts can be an utter pita,quite a few peeps have had to cut the N/S drive member off. Pov.spec,ftw. 2006, 110,TD5.

Alloys, but can remove.
So just go for gold undo everything I see? Nothing I can break? I'll see how it works as it goes and she'll be right cobber? 
All new to me and I cant see how it goes until I undo it. Most of the time I'm ok with pulling the machine apart and back together again (usually in a better state), but one occasion with it stranded in the driveway for a week is enough (broken clutch master banjo bolt), hence the trepidation... 
What are the torques when it's going back together? Solved the bowel problem, working on the consonants... |

Need paper gasket for the drives,other than that no harder than changing wheels (apart from the fronts
 ).I fitted H/D drives and packed them solid with grease,same grease I use for the UJ's,(universal joints....Propshafts,lol).Can't remember the torque settings,but you should really own a Haynes/Clymer manual by now  ,or at least have access to a snide online version. Pov.spec,ftw. 2006, 110,TD5. |
