Hi Frank,

Need you are help and advice on replacing the axle on the silver car. Its nearly a year since I parked it and did not touch it.

For starter question: What size, shape socket do I need to open the inner plate of the drums from the axle? (here is the screw/bolt shape)


Regards

Hi frank,

I desperately need your help and advice. The bolts which fit the stabiliser bar does not fit in housed nut on the axle. The bolts removed from the old axle. Looked at nissan4you for a reference and it looks all the same part number. I don't know which car the new axle came from. Its ABS Drum Break axle.

Do I need to rethread the inhoused nut? If yes what type of tap do i need to use?

Is it possibe that the threads are not the same i.e fine/coarse and metric nonmetric?

Please advise.

Thanks frank,

Yes the brackets there with welded nut on the other side. Is it possible that they could be two threads? Or thickness/thinness issue? Or do they need rethreading?

I will upload the pictures if I can find a way.

It's a normal metric thread. Might be rusted or crossthreaded. Either clean the threads with a tap or u can dremel the old nut off n use new nut bolts

I will the cleaning option since removing the nuts are extremely difficult if not impossible.

Any suggestions on how to remove the seized panhard rod bush?

I tried with grinder but injured myself!

Thanks frank,

If I leave it off will it pass MOT?

I could post a picture but here is video,.

Sorry, the part under the car is very clear.

In case using a tap what size shall I use?

I found http://www.shender4.com/metric_thread_chart.htm chart of sizes but I have no clue which one to use for this.

I think I have figured it out how to determine the size of the nuts and required tap. Since I have to to work don't have time to measure it. I will report when have time to do it. Off to an 8 hr shift work.

Brute force and ignorance is how most of us remove the panhard rod bush off the fixed threaded shaft.

the nut is simply tacked at the corners so u just dremel the lower two and pry it off

M10x1.5 afaik

since the whiteline bush insert was the same as the seized inner bush, I left it alone, just trimmed all the rubber off it and slid the new panhard polybush over it.

all power tools are dangerous without proper safety prep and common sense.
proper preparation prevents piss poor performance, that includes personal safety.
if ur unsure, prepare by educating urself, read the manuals, watch videos how to use ur tools, ask a pro for advice.

missing rear swaybar ain't a fail since some basic models don't have em anyway too

just a min, I'll go check my tap set...mines's M10 x 1.5

 

[Hazara]

I browed a 1.5 and a 1.25 taps from a garage it seems none would work.

Apparently the bolt which I removed from the original axle is 1.25 as can be seen here .

Update:

Could not remove the welded nut. Tried both m10 1.5 and m10 1.25 taps but could not anything.

Used a M8 bolt instead of m10 with couple of washers on both sides. Since it too dark could not make a video to share here.

I found a different issue today!

The screen wash is not working checked fuses its ok.

Any ideas what to look for and to look for? Please help.
