We'll put up with you, John.

Oh no had to replace the boost modulator
Just restricted performance no break down as such .
Nanacom fault = Driver command
I bypassed it and got over boost Drive slowly home and got my favourite one stop parts supplier Roverlords on the job with in a hour all sorted and flying again at a very good price

Couple on mine about due. Wonder if a gear puller + suitable voids might do it?

Nope tried and failed needed some additional parts, another fork type spreader and some sleeves, I've done one sided and still need to remake a few of the sleeves as they got crushed installing the ball joints.




Removal was ok but was not very good to use on installing new ball joint as it was a PITA to get them lined up and straight to press back in!!!

I'll be buying a G clamp type off eBay to do the other side!

Cheers Lemo

Lemo did you give the housing the BJ sits in a good flogging, with the G clamp type tool you can use a second hammer on the other side as a dolly, I used 2x 4lb lumpy's which one was shaped like a railway spike hammer and only had trouble with one joint.
Also used a Dremmel with a drum sanding bit to polish the bore before fit the new BJ's with a smear of Coppercoat.
And you've gotta hold your tongue right that's the most important bit.

Yeah gave them a good whack!! Move with each knock.
Was just hard to hold all the sleeves, bolts, new ball joints and press in line to get them started.

Started winch install.
Today a mate and I managed to convince the winch cradle it was compatible with chassis rails, crush can bullbar mounts and apt steering guard / recovery points.
Pretty tight fit with lots of splayed finger finagling of washers and nuts onto bolts, but happy with where it’s at. Bottle jack was mvp today.

Tomorrow hope to repair a couple of holes in the bar from overzealous previous owners front mount towball shenanigans and maybe figure out where to put the solenoid. Might even get the install completed.

Spent some time checking the cattle on one of the properties.
