Has anyone managed to replace a halfshaft UJ on one of the above swing axle
cars without disconnecting the brakes and removing the half-shaft/hub
assembly from the car?  The manual says this should be done so that a vice
can be used to press out the old UJ.  Would it be posssible to just undo
the diff flange/ halfshaft bolts and remove the UJ in situ by placing it in
a G clamp between a piece of dowel and (say) a large socket?  Can the
flange bolts be undone without removing the leaf spring from the vertical
link?

Thanks in advance for any responses,

Pat Edwards.
