Subject: Spitfire axel universal joints
It seems that my right axel universal needs to be replaced. Can the
universal
replacement be done while disconnected from the differential and still
attached to the axel? Or do I need to remove the axel completely and do
it on
a bench? And if total removal is required how big of a job are we
talking
about? Any input appreciated.
Thank you
Dave Tait 78 Spitfire
Dave,
I am sure that some will tell you that it can be done without removing
the axle from the car and I am equally as sure that some people have
done it that way. However, you will be doing yourself a favor by
removing the whole assembly and doing it on the workbench with the help
of a good vise.
Regards,
Joe Curry
