Hello everyone. I have an old parts car that I no longer require as I sold my L series a while back. First thing I should note is that this car is missing the front bumper, the grill separator, drivers light and indicator.

I would also like to add that after having my discs machined, the pedal was very spongy and went pretty low. I have since bled the brakes several times, getting air out of the system. What might cause this after having the discs machined?

Thanks heaps for all of your help so far!

Well.... After a solid days work I have installed two new driveshafts and two new sets of wheel bearings and rebooted my steering rack. The hardest part seemed to be getting the bloody bearing seals in! I spent well over two hours trying to get the inner ones to go in.... I really hope I didn't end ...

I finally got the passenger side shaft out of the bearings and gave the CV a good wobble around and it was very very stiff. Not free and smooth like the drivers side CV. Should I just replace it? Also I noticed that the drivers side DOJ is was a little stiff when wobbling it around on its extremes. ...

ok i have the driveshafts out now. at the same time i was going to pop the bearings out and re-grease them too. should i replace the bearing seals? and if so where might i get them from? i just tried Bursons and they don't stock them

no i havent. ive had them out but never pulled one down before. a scan would be greatly appreciated!

thankyou

should i do drivers side as well? also do i clean out the old grease with kero or something?

ive never re-greased these things before...

Ok so today I took a look at the CVs and I think I might have finally found something. First was the drivers side which appeared to have a good clean amount of grease. Then I checked the passenger side and it appeared to have less grease and be of a dirty sort of colour. I also noticed that around t...

To my knowledge they have never been done. They feel tight when attempting to wiggle the wheel. They car has only done 170,000km's.

How would I check for worn hub? I have done a full lock-lock test (forward and backward) and the cv's don't make any noise...
