i saw a tool in a summer promo mag that claimed to do the job without removing the driveshaft.
other than that gizmo i think its a hub off affair.
still feelin confident?

fair chance it will, but it is a chance eh?
local motor factors will get ye ye right one(usually ), likely for less than a tenner.
i only go to a dealer for a dealer only part, last resort like. |

ive got a suzuki dealership local so will go there first for price and compare to motor factors i guess they are quite vulnerable when off roading? so ...might as well learn how to do it myself |
