September 8th - Half Shaft Replacement The night before the Beamish "Dig for Victory" event, we went to fill up 'Jessie' and a jerry can. Lynne wanted to drive, but on the return journey, very harsh use of the clutch on a slight hill start put far too much torque into the drive train suddenly, and there was a bang from the back of the Jeep. I instantly knew what she'd done. We were only half a mile from home, so returned in front wheel drive. I stripped the remains out that night, draining the oil and removing the diff cover to check that out before putting the Jeep away. It took a week to get a replacement half shaft, which arrived on the afternoon of September 8th, though they forgot to include the gasket. I made a temporary card gasket to get the Jeep back on the road. The shaft and gasket were fitted later in the afternoon. |
