    Wow, this thread's going to explode with all this activity. Did I post this in the wrong place or is it just really uninteresting?:meh:

    LHD Bj42 value and general info

    I'll add a pic of the back interior when I can, it's just full of stuff from a workshop clear out at the mo.

    LHD Bj42 value and general info

    Hi Everyone. I have a 1982 Bj42 4 speed from France so LHD. It's not restored but has been mostly well preserved albeit using some odd methods as you'll see. I bought the truck a few months ago, with the plan to use it to tow my monthly trailer of firewood and keep down garage costs by working...

    What have I done?? Snapped axle shaft?

    I'd love to, I really would, but I need a truck to tow the trailer of sawmill offcuts they allow us to clear once a month to run our wood boiler heating system. It's a 12 foot flat bed trailer and we collect around a ton or just over of dry firewood each time at a very cheap rate as long as we...

    What have I done?? Snapped axle shaft?

    All sorted. Thanks for the help from everyone. I didn't tackle anything but the seal as I needed the truck back on the road for now but all went well. I gingerly rolled the truck down the driveway and no noises coming from the front end at all, so fired her up and did a sort test run around the...

    What have I done?? Snapped axle shaft?

    Its smooth as a smooth thing. :hmm: What do you all do for bearing and seal pullers? The cheap fleabay ones either don't work for inner sleeve bearings or don't go wide enough to pull the 46 mm inner diameter one in the hub. I don't want to spend the sort of money a pro would but it'd be handy...

    What have I done?? Snapped axle shaft?

    Thanks Andrew and John, Yes, I'm relieved but wondered why it leaked too. The bearing feels ok from what I could tell, smooth running all round. Hopefully there's a tell tale sign when I take it out cos I don't want to wonder what happened. Once I've done the rear end I'll jack the front and...

    What have I done?? Snapped axle shaft?

    I removed the pinion shaft and spacer, went around to the hub, pushed it in, heard a 'plink'....got back under to the diff and the shaft lock had fallen into the bottom of the housing, went back round and carefully drew out the axle, keeping it straight.

    What have I done?? Snapped axle shaft?

    Pleased to say, I pulled out the axle in one piece! 👍. I need to borrow a puller to get it out, but I can't see any damage to the axle shaft seal in the hub, I guess it leaked around the outside rather than against the axle? I've got one ordered anyway but is there a way it could have just come...

    What have I done?? Snapped axle shaft?

    Thanks again. Some straight talking there!😢. I've got this truck to keep things simple because I took some big cost hits on my 120 series LC with repairs and corrosion issues before finally selling her on. It left me with just enough to get the BJ42 and make it just about roadworthy, so things...

    What have I done?? Snapped axle shaft?

    Thanks Cruiserdrew. I've given it a good yank and it doesn't seem to want to come out, so fingers crossed! I started to set about it earlier but was immediately stumped by the 24 mm diff drain plug! Will pick up a socket tomorrow. Is there an easy way to check the birfields without...

    What have I done?? Snapped axle shaft?

    Thanks for the reply Steve. I've ordered some seals for the hub and the rear diff and there's also a lot of movement in the rear UJ, so ordered bearings for that, then I can do it all at the same time. Really hoping it's just the seals. Thanks for confirming what I thought....it has a semi...

    What have I done?? Snapped axle shaft?

    Hi All, Firstly, thanks so much to this forum and all the members for the info available to clueless people like me. I've only owned my BJ42 for a few months and I've already used lots of useful info and I'd be lost without it. Right, I've got a 1982 BJ42 imported to the UK from France. Last...
