Went to cowm today and ended up driving home in 4wd but no rear prop and something has decided to stop working inside the rear axle:( not sure if it's the diff with less teeth than a smack heads mouth or if the half shaft has decided it didn't want anymore splines:( on a lighter note didn't need to get towed out anywhere :)

Spent 5 hours replacing the sump.

Replaced o/s/f kingpin bearings. Top one was perfect, on the lower one the kingpin had nearly welded itself to the inner bearing, needed a chisel and bfh to get it out the hub. Luckily it cleaned up and fitted the new bearing perfectly
