Evening all
Hoping there is someone on tonight who can help.
I've just removed the nearside driveshaft by removing the inner boot BUT the clip was not present and the shaft just pulled out.
There are not signs of the clip or a recess for it to sit in
any ideas, is this normal?
thanks

Hi All
I'm hoping someone can help me as I don't have a haynes manual.
I have replaced the discs, pads, wheel bearings, handbrake shoes and disc splash shield.
It's all done but I need the torque setting for the rear hub nut.
Can anyone help?
many thanks in advance.
