Last night was sunny so i move the axle into the garden. It was very nice to work outside, only i kept forgetting tools so was running in and out of the garage!
The plan is to strip the axle, de-rust and then paint it and re-construct. The first thing to do, i thought, was to remove the diff. After an hour of trying to prise the thing out i decided to check the Haynes. It turns out the first thing to do is remove the half shafts!
I started removing the brake drum on one side. I removed the drum, shoes and handbrake mech and then undid the hub retaining screw holding the hub in. A little prising and it came out most of the way. It didn't come all the way out and was getting stuck on something. More research in the Haynes is needed!
