Re: Rear bearings, housing and stub axel issue - question

Hi Aidan, From memory (a week ago 🙄) the outer bearings on both sides need pressing in equally. The inner bearing needed minimal convincing, one was defo easier to fit in than the other, so im guessing housing is worn as stated. I never used and bearing fit, lesson learned I guess. I will strip the ...

Rear bearings, housing and stub axel issue - question

After completely rebuilding the rear suspension (including 2 brand new trailing arms 🙈) due to suspect worn bearings. I still have play, plenty of play. My question is, having changed the bearings and applied 500nm to the nuts, is it most likely yo be the bearing housing or stub axel at fault? Or mo...

JX fuel filter clamp

Hi all,
Does anyone have, or know where I can get a fuel filter clamp for my 88 jx diesel syncro.
I ordered a petrol one by mistake as it looked correct 🙄

What is the correct clamp for this location?

It certainly isn't this 😱

A three legged puller, converted to tool 3032z (copyright pending).
For info, it took a 24 inch breaker bar to free it 😲

VW 3032z. 😁

Re: Tailgate glass frustrations

The gate is removed so I can take it to auto glass but there is a stubborn part of me that wants to do it. I will take an angle grinder to the glass soon 😀

Jx injection pump alignment

Hi all, hoping some light can be cast on the latest “issue” I have come across. I had the timing belt changed 18 months and 1500 miles ago by a “reputable garage” who also changed the water pump !!! I have noticed that there is a fair bit of cambelt dust/fibre when I removed the cover to inspect. St...

Driveshaft gasket?

1.6 JX 14’ Syncro

hi everyone,

does anyone know if there is supposed to be a gasket between the inboard CV (driveshaft) and the drive flange on the transaxle? To stop the CV grease spinning out during use....

thanks, Rob
