pug_ham 244 3 Cars Posted January 22, 2006 Beams should be the same spec bar the brake differences. Take the hubs etc off one axle (including stub axle) & fit it onto the other. (stub axles are different lengths). Shoud swap straight over. Graham. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kman1600 0 Posted August 11, 2006 Hi, Are there any tricks to getting the stub axles out of the arms? Left hand threads or anything? Mine don't seem to want to budge!! Can the the 1.9 axles still be bought new or do I have to get them from a scrap car? Thanks Tim Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
205wrc 16 Posted August 11, 2006 The holes in the back of the pins for the allen key is a decoy !! You simply knock the pins through towards the middle of the car using a copper mallett or a hammer and brass or copper drift. Take care not to damage the thread. New pins are available from AB Motorsport, West Midlands Motorsport, Skip Brown Cars or Special Tuning, and are about £40+ each Aled Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kman1600 0 Posted August 11, 2006 Hi, Thanks for that, saved me a lot of head scratching!!! Arms are off the car so I just pushed them out with a press, easy when you know how. Anyone got a pair of 1.9 rear pins they what to part with and for that mater caliper brackets? Thanks Tim Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
