Rear axle/beam

[lwigmore]

As above, just wondered if there's any guides on how to remove a rear axle?

thanks :)

there are loads of guides around but if your doing a refurb unless you feel confident doing so i wouldnt bother and contact IM axle,

i refurbed an axle last year and it took three days work, stub pins were worn thought i could get away with it so ignored them, not good. bit the bullet later and paid im axle to refurb,,

best thing ever, great service, wicked speed on getting it back and worth every penny,

if not and its just a removal then as follows,

jack car up

put it on stands

remove exhaust from either cat or mani (i found this easier than pulling it over the exhaust)

there are 4 19mm bolts holding this on, they are accesed under the rubber ovals in the back of your car under the bench and under the carpet in the boot,

undo all the brake lines (handbrake too) and calipers then undo bolts,

its important to remember you will have to drag backwards out of the car otherwise you WILL rip the fuel tank off,


hope this helps,

It's been a while so not completely sure, but is there not a guide to this in the FAQ's - Premium Members guides??

It's ok now, removed the axle yesterday, I'm getting a re-furbished axle from IM axles from the group buy

It was quite easy if i'm honest :D
