Hey guys,
I want to run HQ pattern wheels on the rear of my LH (standard banjo), there's a shop here that will redrill my axles and drums, my question is before i start taking things apart, is it pretty straight forward?, anything i should/shouldn't do?
Basically i just remove the wheels, drums, few other bolts and the axles should slide out yeah?
Cheers

Dont forget to undo the 4 retaining nuts on the axle retaining plate or you will be there forever.

Just another quick question, Do i need to put grease on the bearings and axle splines when putting it back together or does the diff oil take care of that? Also what diff oil are you supposed to run, i'm guessing there's different grades?
Cheers!

SAE90 will probably best if you can get it. A bit thicker is better than a bit thinner as far as heat is concerned 
Doesn't hurt to put a bit of grease on the wheel bearings but really as long as you give everything a squirt of oil as you put it together, and roll around a low speed a bit before driving normally, I don't see why there would be any problem.

Soke it in weezel piss and let is sit over night. Then attach the wheel loosely and try and pull it off that way using the wheel as a puller.

Hmm, when I've had this, it is usually after the centre is destroyed from a bit to much fun on the right pedal, I'm guessing what it'll look like. I'd use the tyre as stated. Gary.

You need a big bastard of a slide hammer like tool. I made one out of a big bolt a bit over a foot long and an ancient old cog that was laying around the farm (about a foot in diameter and weighs something like 5-7kg).
I put the cog on the bolt and then the threaded part of the bolt thru the axle flange, washer behind and put the nut on. Then bust a nut sliding the cog with force to pull out the axle.
I'm a big guy and over the years I've encountered some bloody tough axles to pull with there being nothing wrong with the centre. Just persist, brute force will prevail!
