unfortunatly I didnt have that advice yesterday Madzuki and the mechanic had fixed it back to the way it was. I rang him last night and it was almost back togther. I will find out the total damage bill this morning.

Well after all that it wasn't the hub
It was the bearing in the drivers side axle had collapsed. aparently the seal that stops the water getting in was non exestint, and all the mud and water that I had bee going through over the past few weeks helped to collapse an already buggerd bearing. along with that add a stuffed CV Joint and a bill of $550.00 I am happy with the result, considering the diff had to be removed.
I got it fixed at Raymond Mechanical at Beenleigh, beeing that I have just moved to Queenslad from Tasmania and finding it hard to find a good mechanic I would recomend him any time.
now back to the tracks
Just dont tell the wife
