Drizz Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 Any idea how this 3 bolt flange comes off? We were told it just unbolted so we could swap for the 90s 4 bolt flange but its not the case. Help as we are mid swap and its due in a trial tomorrow!!!! Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drizz Posted January 17, 2009 Author Share Posted January 17, 2009 you 100%? were using an engine hoist as a reverse press and im scared with the amount of force on it, and its not budging! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jericho Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 Yes it is just pressed in.you may need a proper puller. You also need a spacer to fit the 4 bolt flange - it does not fit straight on. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve 90 Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 Put a large socket over the stub in the middle (which is defo pressed in) and use a bolt with a nut and a large washer on it though the middle of the socket and use it like a puller to jack it out.

roachy Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 Cheers for all the help guys, it was my axle. we managed to get it off. we decides to cut the flange of with a grinder, got most of the way through then got a slide hammer on it and the pin came free, i think due to the heat from cutting. thanks for the heads up on the spacer jerico, we found the item in the 10 spline axle we removed.
