na its not needing tapped again, was a clean "grind" , ill take a pic later of what its like, there abot 5 mm of it stile going out from the pin hole, maybe more

the driveshaft assembly goes all the way from the diff in the gearbox and through the front hub as 1 solid lump with 2 joints on it (unless you leave the end in the box when you take the engine/box off, but that's another story)

ok... carry on :o

I think we're discussing terminology for something that is one and the same assembly... :lol:

i have no idea what you are on about :|

its the constant velocity joint, which joins onto the driveshaft:)

correct - prob been 'threaded' against the thread - and needs tapping (bot with a hammer lol) so the bolt screws into it fine

anyone got any 2.0ltr vaux front disks,caliper,caliper holder and pads , and whatever else i need to do a 2.0ltr brake conversion for sale? would lok so much better inside the wheel :) and my brakes at mo are very shite, put on new pads 100miles ago and they are still fucked, i think they need bled

Never had to do that to get them on mine....

Bend the pin...as tim says as long as it won't come out.............:)

As long as the pin can't come out the hole it goes through you'll be fine...

You can bend the pin round more, or just trim the tail off a bit. Just make sure it can never come out ;)

PS: I personally wouldn't have ground it back *that* far but hey... see how it goes... it's not the driveshaft by the way -- it's a stub axle... Driveshaft finishes into the back of the hub...

anyone esle grinded it back ?

lol, why is it there then ?

they have that much thread for a reason, thank fuck you will never go near my car!!

looks horrible, sure the pin would be ok bent round the other way, wont come loose, and theres no reason for the shaft to be as long as it was, got told from shops to angle grind a few mm off it, and ppl on here

loose the centercaps, not 1/2 the threads on your driveshaft or the locking pins

also noticed on 1 of my front wheels the threads are fucked in 1 of the holes and the bolt wont go right in no matter what, wont turn any further, hope it will be ok, need to try get hold of some better discs or sumit,

grinded it very far back only a couple of threads still sticking out, dont think it will need re threaded either, just need to know will it be ok with that pin bent round the side of it? if i bend the pin back around the font (where it originally was) then the pin presses on the center cap

had to remove the rear grease caps aswell, it safe for the wheels center cap to keep the greas ein ? anything better i can do :wave::boggle:
