Hi there. Purchased a new after market spindle for my '92 Troopy and a complete gasket set for the right front axle. All up with trade discount $140 from Don Kyatt Spare Parts. Monday I am getting the rotors skimmed and fitting new pads. In for a penny, in for a pound. Thanks for the input. Regards

Hi. So were they replaced or was it simply just cosmetic?

Hi all. I have a question. Has anyone ever heard of a Troopy breaking the front stub axle?. By stub axle I mean the hollow tube that bolts onto the brake backing plate and which the front axle goes through and upon which the wheel bearings are fitted. The bearing are then held there by those 2 large locking nuts. The reason that I ask this question is because over the last weekend I serviced the front wheel bearing and when I had the hub and bearings removed and the stub axle nicely cleaned up I noticed a fine, what looked like an almost microscopic hairline crack all the way around that portion of the stub axle where the inner wheel bearing is seated. So is it a crack in the stub axle (and the loss of the right front wheel) or is it something that can be ignored as just a characteristic for that stub axle where cast and turned? So back to my original question, has anyone EVER heard of a Troopy breaking a front stub axle as I have not as yet heard of such a thing

Hi all. New to this Forum so I hope I am doing things correctly. If not please advise and I will not do it again So here goes. I need to replace my water pump as it is leaking. Gregories workshop manual says to remove all the fan belts and the fan belt pullies, this I understand. But it then goes on to say I should also remove the timing belt cover, the timing belt and tensioner as well as the cam shaft sprocket and the oil seal retainer. Now looking at the photo in the Gregories manual it appears that after the fan and A/C belts are removed plus the pullies, the water pump looks to be accessable for removing. What am I missing here? If someone has had experience in replacing the waterpump before, would you please advise as to why it is necessary to remove the other bits thus creating extra work. What am I missing here? Regards
