some shafts pop out easy and some don't, it's all to do with how much nut there is on the end of the diff flange if it clears easily or is a ball ache

have you got the solid shaft or the hollow one?

Ive got the fatter front prop Dojj. So if it wont clear the front diff flang nut will I have to drop the roll bar. Im almost sure I changed it last time without dropping the roll bar.

I still havent washed the car for a while but took a few pics anyway.

I noticed a few years back that my rear prop shaft donut was starting to split. I had a look today and split right through so this will be another job to do on the list lol.

Some people dont like them on saffs. Ive only seen a few saffs with these wheels on and I thought they looked mint. So I bought a set. When the cossie was at Gaz.s he did the wheels too.

Was it one off the jobs you put off cause you think it's going to be a ball ache and then it turns out to be easy. They're the best jobs to do.

Nicely done Glen

This'll be my very last job as I can't get the doors fully open in the garage

Can I ask where you picked your material up from please? I'm only 25 mins away from you

Lovely Saff Glenn.

Don't listen to the others, the RS Focus wheels look the nuts!!

They are something different to all the other Cossies and really suit the car.

Im with you on the black wheels thing - NEVER!!!
