Yeah, I've seen that.

Near you, there's Keables in Braid st, Footscray(near the Bunnings on Geelong Rd). You can see them on Google Maps.

Only other place you may/will find some will be Swanston Engineering supplies on Lt Boundary Rd in Laverton.

IIRC about 6 years ago about $1.50 each .. now with COVID taxes and inflation .. I reckon $150 each [biggrin]

I got 10 at a dollar each from ebay.

I tried the bread and hammer trick, no good.
I bought an internal bearing puller and managed to remove the .... ta da!! the rubber section. Tomorrow I'll try again and remove the steel shell. Then again, the second hand rear prop shaft arrived so I might just put that on first

ARB deluxe ball bar fitted. I thought the deluxe had fox lights?

Forgot to fit the plastic bumperette things.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...9e3e921c94.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...4309a66558.jpg

Easy enough to put back, except the bolts do not have thread all the way to the drum. the drum is a bit loose. I'll have to refit with a washer or three.

I tried the bread, drift and hammer to remove the bush. This did not work. I have a inner bearing puller ordered. Hopefully that will work.

You will find 9/16 nyloc nuts are too big. Nuts and bolts are spec'd by the thread size rather than the spanner that goes on them.

Ummm, not so sure that is an ARB... For one, they have a sticker to the left of the number plate and the second the lights are rounded and not square as yours seem to be. The website shows this clearly

Know I have the Sahara which is essentially the same except for a single hoop, this is genuine ARB and has the fog lights and rounded lights as well as Fog lights.

Also the cutouts near the winch seem to be elongated as well...

Bugger, Just as well the second hand prop shaft came with all the nuts and bolts.

Certainly take the point re models, but don't all ARB have the sticker???
