Junk the linkage and buy a cable shift.
Junk the linkage and buy a cable shift.
I asked Craig that, and he told me to stay with rod.Originally Posted by strat24v
I will do whatever people think best
Right
Rear clam off. Both driveshafts off. Both calipers off. Exhaust off.
Left wheel bearing definitely gone. Rumbles and no spin. Right is quiet and quick flick it will turn nearly 360 deg on its own.
When taking right caliper off, this fell out from somwhere?
It is about 12mm x 6mm x 2mm , is rubber backed, stamped 5 on front and seems to show "contact" wear. Any ideas?
I think I will try to keep engine in, change wheel bearings and the right side CVs. (lefts done last week)
I will see if I can do diff to LSD in situ, and ask Craig about fitting cable shift.

wheel weight?

Looks like a wheel weight to me!

Good spot, that might be it, but I just took the left hub apart.
The inner section came out nicely, but the outer with the wheel flange took a bit of brute force, and tapping of a big socket
No evidence of any grease in the hub , and the outer bearing does not want to move off the shaft. Will have to find someone in St Albans to press the bearings off and press the new ones in.
A big pile of black duct fell on the floor and really smells of burning.
I think I may have found the problem.
Looks like Granada Scorpio 5 stud bearing for rear is FBK090 and FBK089

Be very careful not to damage the alloy divider which sits between the two bearing races, once that is broken the upright is scrap. The divider is approx. 4mm wide and is part of the casting. If someone over presses or abuses the bearings they can shear off and that's it ruined.
