I have totally dismantled my car now and am assesing what, and what not, to replace.
The rear axle certainly needs new spring platforms as they are severely weakened by rust. That should be a relatively straightforward welding job.
And it looks like it probably needs a new pinion oil seal as it was oily in that area.
But should I attempt to strip it any further or would I just be opening a can of worms? I believe the halfshafts, for example, are extremely difficult to remove. And most of the other things that could be replaced seem to require that.
Of course I will be replacing the brake shoes and slave cylinders as a matter of course, but they are easy to get to.
As usual - all input gratefully received!
Cheers, Robin
