Hello,
If there is anyone here who can clarify the replacement of the drive shaft bearing for me before I go ahead.
Looking at some of the notes here, the drive shaft looks quite easy to remove. But would like to know for sure if the shafts themselves are just clipped together?
IE, they need just a small tap for them to separate and then have access to the centre bearing for its replacement?
If this isn't possible, how do they come apart if at all? I can see plenty of bearings on the internet and it would be alot cheaper than a whole new shaft at £250?
PS I heard the uv joint can also wear, which would mean I have to buy the whole thing, but for now (and my pocket) the bearing seems easy to do?
