didn't clean it before cracking on with work then, I can't talk I'm always doing that then halfway through the job with mud everywhere I'm wishing I had
That doesn't sound too good with the diff, I'm sure as it was only for a short period damage will be minimal and after a good thorough clean, inspection and fresh oil it'll be fine

Right, remember I said the rear axle breather had snapped.
Axle is full of water and mud, pinion bearing feels alrite though and the diff is all ok I think.
But the axle is completely bent.
I'l put a picture up in a sec to show how bad it is, so I need to build up another axle.
Just ordered new saddles, the ones on it I have chopped up to many times before. Thought I'd order a clutch as well for good measure !!

People who are not sure about fully floating axles, basically that should be dead square in the middle !!

Haha yeh that's true !!
Il nick an axle of one I am breaking. The problem is they bend when you truss them. Need to jig it to stop it bending.
Although I think it's been made worse as its seen some action !!

The two most difficult things about upgrading a zuk: parting with the cash for choice bits, and finding the time to get the work done!
Actually working on these things is a joy, imho - but who's got time these days?
