Bit of a complication. Replaced the swivel and seal on front left of 2.2 Puma. Lovely job, I was slow but it all worked out.
Anyway as you do I thought ,....whilst I’ve got the tools out I’ll fit those new Drive Flanges. First one went on a treat, no worries. Used the drive flange bolt to draw out the axle in order to fit spacer and circlip.
One on opposite side is where it gets tricky. Drive flange tighter and unable to use bolt of drive flange to draw axle out.
It’s almost as if the hole size is a little bigger as the drive flange bolt just slide through without being able to be threaded onto the internal hole of the axle.
The axle is so tight I’ll need a Puller on the axle(via bolt) to draw it out.
To this end does anyone know the bolt size/thread size I knee d to purchase in order to use a Puller?
