Sal and I went to the dam today in the 4WD to have lunch and let the dog have a swim. (One of his fav things)
On the way home we stopped at the building site to see how the new place is coming along.
I noticed some oil on the back wheel and thought the hub had just chewed a seal.
How wrong I was.
I nursed it home as it wasnt far and this is what I got.
4956
Oil on rim when I got home.
04957
The entire axle came out in my hand. All the bolts had sheered off but were still in their holes holding on with the aid of some hub gasket.
How this happened I dont know as im pretty good with maintenance.
The oil was clean and the axle spline was un damaged so im just going to rebuild it.
But we were doing 100km/h on the hwy with 2 full diesel tanks so I think I should buy a lotto ticket
