Unread post by peter306 »

Hello all, advice needed.
How do i get the tail off without damaging the spindle.
Ive got a repair kit coming as it's still leaking.

As you have no cars listed in your profile can you confirm which vehicle this is from? :)

I guess that it is the Xantia in his signature.

Have you seen Jim's guide: https://eastment.net/hcrefurb/index.htm. Note that there are 3 pages of it.

My apologies for that, I didn't see the signature as I only scrolled enough to bring the picture into view!! :-D

Hello, yes it's the Xantia, now on 188,000 miles.
Got it done, padding, vice, a bit of heat.
Followed Jims guide when i cleaned the valve, he doesn't take that bit off.
