Removing driveshafts

[jasper5]

I didn't get time to go today, but I'm working next door to the yard tomorrow morning so I will pick up a bracket and send it as soon as possible.

[jasper5]

Here are some photos of the bracket I picked up this morning, let me know if this is anything like you might want to fit to your car.

There are many different types of these brackets, I have no way of knowing if this fits your car, but have a look and let me know what you think before I send it.



Not sure how to upload to the forum

Thanks Jasper. It looks a little different from the pictures I posted. There are no notches near the holes and it just generally seems like a different bracket.

Can you line them all up and take a picture from the top?

[jasper5]

Posted 2 more pictures to the album in photobucket.

[Captain Jack]

Yeah, it's definitely different. The bolt holes near the driveshaft hole are in different places from mine.

I am going to take the wheel off and see if I can get a closer look at mine - even the photos I posted seems different from the close up pictures I've taken!

[jasper5]

Great! See what view you can get...the guy at the yard will allow me to change the bracket if wrong.

[Captain Jack]

OK! It's definitely like the one in 3 pictures I posted earlier. The best identifying mark I can see if the DW-A near the top of the mount.



I'd say if you find one with DW-A or DW-B (the look the same) marking then it will likely fit OK.

I had a squint and it looks like the mount you have is from a Peugeot 206 HDI engine.

would a look on servicebox help here at all ??

[Captain Jack]

SB says part number 1816 15 - will it be imprinted on the mount though?

[jasper5]

I saw some DW-A so I'll go have a look again tomorrow......

Please be aware that my Mother In Law is seriously ill in hospital and if required I may get tied up at the hospital.

[Captain Jack]

John, absolutely - take your time. Hope she gets better.

[jasper5]

I got this earlier.....http://s638.photobucket.com/user/archer ... t=3&page=1 6890 and 6891
It's DW-B and has a good mounting rubber.

Let me know if this is alright and i'll post it off to you if you PM your address.

[Captain Jack]

Excellent - I think it looks good! Will PM you now.

Got the mount and the 35mm socket now, so I am pretty much good to go! Just need to find the time and I have very little of it in the next few days...

Question regarding the hub nut - do I need to use a breaker bar or will a ratchet be strong enough? Will need to grab one off my dad if I need the former.

Having just replaced a CV joint on my HPi this morning I have to say that you definitely need a breaker bar....I used my 3/4 drive breaker bar and had to stand on it to undo the driveshaft nut....having said that, I tightened up your driveshaft nut up with an air gun so maybe it will be a little less tight.

Take a look in my thread about my new project, there are some pointers in there for you.
