How hard was it to separate the two halves? Mine was a right pain......

I use the bolt to draw the two halves apart. If you place a suitable bar or socket behind the head of the bolt and unwind the bolt against it you can draw the splines apart. Still needs a whack to get it going.91 Modded 3B

All the fuel lines have been marked up and removed. I found the usual rust inside the rubber holders and it wasn’t far off failing.
Now I have a bit more space to work on the rusty bits underneath.
The rubbers were gross but cleaned up nicely.
While it was sunny, I got some zinc primer on a few more parts in the poly tunnel. Hit 18c in there today!

I needed access to the jacking points which needed a clean so dropped her onto axle stands.
Pretty much all the cleaning is done now but it’s too cold to paint at the moment.
I have been gathering parts to replace all the fuel lines under the car. Got the rubber pipe from Merlin who always give a top service.
Eventually found rubbers for the rear ball joints that fitted. Third time lucky. I found cv grease works well on refurbished ball joints.
Just need to paint everything underneath then I can start putting it all back together.

I replaced the ball joint boot on my rear tie rods last year. Destroyed several boots trying to use the spring clip that is meant to hold them on. No idea how you are meant to fit them but i gave up in the end.
I stripped some copper core out of twin and earth cable and used a strand of that wrapped round the boot. Twisted the ends together and it nipped up nicely to seal.
Just a thought if you find yourself despairing.

I bought a mixed pack of 14 rubber boots. I've found two that fit perfectly.Nothelle S2 Avant
