PLease Urgent Help. Axel has come out from diff!

[acarmody]

So Changing my rear springs today and when the control arm dropped it must have pulled the axel out. See pic.

So how do I get it back in?? Do I have to raise the tyre up slowly while spinning the tyre???

 

[acarmody]

OK wait I think I got it guys. I gave it a bit more angle, wiggled it and slowly pushed it back and it seemed to slide in nicely with a bit of a clunk when it bottomed out.

Any chance anything is damaged?

Going to be shitting myself as I fit the other side spring

No it will be fine. The axles are retained by a ring clip that drops into a groove inside the diff.. If you pull on the axle it will pop out, as you discovered.

 

[acarmody]

Thank #### for that.

As cheap6 posted, it will be fine, have had mine out and back in no worries.

Before, Kings Lows (ridiculously low for some reason. KHRL-45)

After, genuine FE2 from Clubbie that had 60,000km when taken out ~7 odd years ago. So much better IMO.

 

[scrano]

Were they actually King Lows? Or Super Lows? Cause that looks low. Were the actual springs shot, or is that just how low they sat?

 

[acarmody]

Genuine Kings Lows. KHRL-45.

Yeah they where really low, Always where. Even had a 10mm spacer on the left side because if I went over a decent dip in road my tyres would scrape the wheel arch.

That's about how low mine sits in the rear with kings low!

I see another stuffed fuel lid tab... If and when you fix it post a How To. Sure theres many others in the same boat.
