Hey Yorkie!
let me know the balljoint part number?:angel:;):D
Well after looking at all your posts today I decided to pull the front shaft from my D2 with 190 odd thousand km's on it.
Looked OK in there but found 1 uni joint was r/s
I rang Hardy Spicer and they quoted 3 off k5-A747 uni's at $41.44 ea.
The problem I have is I would like to replace the ball joint as well On George's photo breakdown he used a Hardy SCV-82 ball joint. Hardy Spicer say you have to modify the sealing arrangement if you use this one (George did not note this though). Hardy's are saying buy a SCV-82ANG but it is nearly double the price they say it goes straight in. I am not too worried about cost but would like to know the correct answer as living in the country I do not wish to organise the parts twice.
Can any one advise?
Cheers
Richard check your PM. I had no dramas with the SCV-82 and i'm not sure about the other part. My rebuild is nearly a year old now and still going strong.

isnt that interesting,,
the people that are supplying my new ones are freighting them up from melbourne(????), and were informed (by melbourne) that the k5lkr and the 747 were the same,,,
what price the ball joint George?
That's about right for the price of the ball joint.
I had to fabricate a "special tool" to get the ball joint in. I used a piece of steel pipe ground down to sit on the outer race of the ball, yet narrow enough to fit into the socket on the cardan joint. Then just tap it gently in.
Cheers
George.
