I want to take the front drive shafts off the escos.

But nto sure how the come out the diff ?? and will all the oil come out aswell ??




.

 

haven't done this myself but there is a clip inside the diff afaik. need to drain the diff, take the cover off remove clip and the rest you get

 

Hmmm Bugger !...... Might have to try and get the hubs off instead then.

I knew i should of undone all the hub bolts 1st !

.

 

try and borrow an electric impact gun to undo the 30mm hub nut, then take teh hub off

but on the drivers side you have to undo the bottom plate of the iff and there is a circlip inside holding the shaft in place, passenger side will just fall out as its not held in by anything

you can also take the gaitor off and pop the shaft out the joint, it will just pull out leaving the joint in the diff

but the diff only takes 0.5 litres of oil, so its not a lot really

 

I use to sepatate the joint when I work on mondeos and that works a treat

 

how do you take the hub off? Do you have to use a puller? any pics?

 

are you the only person thats not got a manual so you know what your doing of e bay!!!
available in easy read large letters!!!!!!!!!lol

 

I haven't - does that mean I'm good???

Ossie Cossie - to remove the front hub, i'm guessing you want to change a wheel bearing etc. Its best to remove all the hub and get the stud axle pressed out on a decent fly press.

 

For the right side, you need to open the front diff and remove the clip.
It takes 1 litre of oil...

For the left side, you only have to pull it. Because it's fitted into an spacer, and it' the spacer wich is clipsed into the diff.

 

Cheers for the info ...
