Thanks very much for your help so far, as most of this is new to me. (I'm more used to playing with old motorbikes).
I have got all the front bits out-UJ, yoke off the end of the gearbox, etc. I am now assuming that I need to remove the outer tube to get to the seals & bushes? At the moment, all I see is the splined end of the tailshaft inside the small section of the tube. Where do I go from here?
I am pretty handy at most mechanical work, but I should invest in a w/shop manual? If I get it all good, my boys will not have too many problems when I go to the big truckstop in the sky!
I have recently imported a pickup bed from Jim Carter, which will replace the flat top (tray) shortly. It is at the paint shop at the moment. The plan is to have it all finished by Easter, for a rally.
Many thanks for your patience & help.
