I need my rear axel replacing andeas wondering how hard it will be to do it on a drive with axel stands and basic knowledge??

Help and advise would be great

[lwigmore]

I did mine on my driveway, easy as piss mate to do :) had help from my dad and brother to lower the old axle to the floor and put new axle up but apart from that easy to do buddy :y:

i could swap it for you ;)

it not too bad, the brake lines in to the conpensor valve sometimes can tricky.

as when people try get them off they dont have the correct spanner for the job, and are easy to round.

but bar from that not too bad.

give me a pm if you want a price for swap beams.

Would probably get somone to do it unless you have a few mates and a guide to help you, did consider doing mine at one point when lowering it looked to be difficult as you have to disconect the breaks plus the axel isnt exacly light. Goodluck tho if you do go for it

This. They sheared off on mine so I had to put in new lines as there was new way I was getting new fittings onto the old manky and bent lines (plus they are too tough as hell for my little flaring tool). Not a massive job but can get grubby.
Fitting the beam is simplicity itself just 4 bolts but you'll need mates to help and someone in the car to have a look through the holes to line it up. I fitted new handbrake cables at this time too.

its simple mate.

i did mine with my dad

just disconect brake lines and handbrake cables, get a jack up to the middle of the beam.

undo the four bolts (two in boot, two under back seats.)

then lower the jack slowly while supporting the beam.

then the exact reverse putting the new one in. job done.

took us about an hour and a half. :y:
