Hello all
After having my panda (rusty) since 2008 with an very noisy rear axle the bearings finally gave up. It wasn't to bad in 2x4 mode but the grinding noise was quite bad once in 4x4 mode.
So as I was Lucky enough to have bought a few items from jumpinjacks in Cornwall including a rear axle, so after a few hours under rusty on the drive I swopped over the axles.
So now the job of rebuilding the old axle has started, so far I have stripped the old axle down removed the diff and pinion bearings whilst being carful to mark all item locations.
These are the bearings removed. The diff bearings where the worst one of them completely braking up during the removal
The pinion bearings where better but need replacing
Iv ordered new seals 2x half shaft and 1x pinion seals from eBay
I haven't, as yet ordered, the bearings
