Now inside for the winter, will emerge reconditioned in the spring, maybe, new oil seals and gaiters, rebuilt wheel cylinders, reconditioned handbrake linkages! not in main shed / workshop, in far end of shed, next to the carport housing the chassis. the 1911 chassis is stood up on the end of the far racking, red oxide primer.

Need some advice, I suspect heat may be the answer! I removed the dogbones that keep the rear axles upright so I could attempt tp replace the gaiters on the ball joints, problem is that the pin with the ball on the end needs to be removed from the cross shaft and diffs, I think the shaft is parallel sided with a split tapered collar at the nut end, smashing the end of the shaft with a decent club hammer only spreads the end of the shaft, fortunately smaller than the thread! I think the split collar (item 12) needs to come loose first! also any thoughts on a gaiter (item 16), about 70mm inside dia. rather like a very large TRE gaiter.
