so this is just after the scarborough beach rd over pass, pulled over on the freeway just after the bridge, inspected the damage and drove down the embankment seen behind, ended up on the bus and taxi on ramp then drove over to the toyota car park
upon closer inspection discovered the shaft i'd put in had sheared and the 32mm nut had flown off, which must have been the sound i heard when taking it for a test drive
called dave the man and he zoomed over to give me a hand, thankfully there was a repco down the road, bought a couple of rear wheel bearing kits, one for a quick fix and another to do it properly tomorrow. took the rotor off and went for an drive to dave's house where we grinded the old bearing off the hub, smashed on the new outer bearing, picked up the old shaft from mine, went back and put it all back together enough to get me home. inner bearing was still shagged and didint bother putting the seals on.
was only a 5 min drive thankfully so a couple of hours screwing around around and some $$$ for the bearing and she's home.
gonna go take a trip to the wreckers tomorrow with evidence in hand, at least gonna try get a new shaft off em, i'll be pushing for the cost of the bearings too
