Hi
Having got my Ruby running after a while I managed to break a half shaft when manouvering on the drive.
After a few small battles and appropriate words the axle is removed and dismantled.On fitting a new half shaft I found that it tends to "click" slightlywhen rotating in the satellite gears.
I am going back to where I got the halfshaft on Thursday with a view to trying out some others to see if they run more smoothly like the old (worn) shaft.
If other shafts seem the same ,do I fit it and let it run in or should I use engineers blue and file down any high spots on the shaft gear.
I would be grateful for any opinions from anyone of experience of replacing shafts.
