mark if its that bad run for a few days to coat every thing in nice oil, but if its that bad then need sorting, but should only take a hour to sort out. always looking for them bigger bunches of bannanas |

If you take the wheel off and drop the top ball joint the hub will fold back and allow the whole drive shaft to move. This should pull the joint out ofthe diff. |

Tried that mate, but all it keeps doing is pulling the gater on the pot joint :) I managed to undo all the bolts and losen up the diff plate. And the pot joint is alittle loser. but for the life of me i cant get it out. jacked the car up as hight as i can to give me some arm room. anyother tips i could try ? cheers lads. Shit Happen's |

you need to lever the pot joint out as it has a retainer.

I may sound thick, but im not that thick lol well ok i am little thick. Well the screw driver is a nice long thick one.. Spose i better keep trying for another few hours

I have a long crow bar, i come over the top of the engine, down onto the top of the pot joint and lever it with the crow bar. Piece of P!ss! 1/4 Mile 14.3secs 96Mph Terminal 10psi of boost.

i just use my ball joint splitter and give it a tap from underneath works every time I didn't have a grow bar, so i tried this method. worked a treat :) Wasn't really sure if it was ok to hit the pot at first. Nice one rich mate :) And yes, i did leave the O ring out 
You live and learn. Can't wait to fix it and have some more fun. I drove it back from kent to guilford, which took about 2 hours :) Couldn't belive how much fun it was. I was doing 70mph Cough cough lol with ease. Only problem was, i couldn't hear my music with them drop gears lol. it was getting abit to much at one point. so i stoped off and brought an MP3 Player :) only problem is, all i could listen to was the radio. but that sorted it :) But was fun driving round town. You get some many heads turning, because all they hear is this wine coming up the road lol love it 8-) Cheers. Shit Happen's |

Yeah i wont be doing that again... Glad it wasn't as hard to do as i thought. Best way to learn about the mini, is to get stuck in your self. I would never of thought i could build a gearbox in my life time. thanks to richards help, i built it :) works great.. Cheers. Shit Happen's |
