Gromit Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 So, I set about replacing the clunky rear drive members this evening after work. One one side, the bolt sheared , so I abandoned that. On the right side, I got the drive member off to find that the replacement one wouldn't fit on the haft shaft. The replacement is made by Karsons, and matched the correct part No: FRC 5806. The spline count is correct, but it seems the member is a few thou too small. It might drift on with a lot of persuasion, but I wasn't willing to try that. So, best way of removing the sheared bolt is probably a trip to a mate with a welder, remove the drive member and weld something on to the remains of the bolt? Any other bright ideas? Anyone heard of Karsons or seen something similar with parts almost, but not quite, fitting? Ta muchly, Still clunky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Astro_Al Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 If you have good access to the end of the bolt, welding something beefy to it works for me. I just had to take a LOT of dome headed coach bolts out of rotten planks this way as they'd just spin otherwise and ther's no way to grip them... That was a pain! But its effective, if you have room.
