Offside driveshaft - Davidwheaty - 01-02-2015

Offside driveshaft has gone, its it an easy/cheap job or is it a garage job?


RE: Offside driveshaft - Toms306 - 01-02-2015

Easy enough, intermediate bearing will be seized and need a big hammer though.


RE: Offside driveshaft - Davidwheaty - 01-02-2015

Yeah any guides to removal on here? Search is useless on this app Sad


RE: Offside driveshaft - Toms306 - 01-02-2015

Jack up
Remove wheel
Remove lower hub pinch bolt and nut (16&17mm)
Pop hub off balljoint
Remove hub nut (35mm, very tight)
Pull hub towards you and shaft pops out

For drivers side need to remove intermediate bearing (2 L shaped bolts with 11mm nuts need undoing) and hammer bearing out



Make sure you either drain the gearbox or catch the fluid that comes out and then replace it afterwards.

Cheers, will give it ago, managed to find both shafts for £20 off a lad 10 mins away breaking his 5 door, I presume they will be the same?


RE: Offside driveshaft - Toms306 - 01-02-2015

I think 1.4/1.6 shafts are smaller, but bigger engines are all interchangeable. Also if you have ABS, you will need ABS shafts.


RE: Offside driveshaft - Davidwheaty - 01-02-2015

Don't think it has abs, haven't slammed on enough to notice though

And his is a 5door xud Smile


RE: Offside driveshaft - Toms306 - 01-02-2015

The driveshafts aren't distinguished by doors... lol

Check for an ABS pump in front of the little fusebox. If not then yeah they'll fit fine. Smile

Will do, cheers lads
