| Post subject: | Moke -advise needed to remove broken susp shaft(pic) |
Drove over a large hole in the Moke,which resulted in the LHR radius arm shaft(pin) breaking.This is the 13inch wheel type,ie bearings on the shaft. I put my "butchers apron" on and removed the nut off the shaft,thinking that I could punch the shaft thru the other side,but it won't move? Do I have to punch it thru from the inside,or doesn't it matter....and just keep using a bit more force? 
Thanks. |

It`s most probably siezed in the arm,,, take the outer bracket bolts out , one bolt is in where that blue thing is & another under the arm,,, & 2 more under the bracket & take the whole arm & bracket off the car, obviously you`ll need to undo the brake hose & handbrake cable etc to achieve complete removal of the arm from the car. once it`s out you can sort it from there i have 2nd hand arms if you need them |

If its anything like a normal mini (i've never had a moke) you will need to undo the nut on the inner end of the shaft, remove the bracket that mounts the outer end then you should have some luck for removal. |

The inner nut and a section of the shaft is where it snapped,I removed that with a pair of plies-and was hoping that I could then punch the broken section out and replace it without removing the complete unit?....Is the shaft on a Mini,which runs on bushes,the same as the Moke with the bearings? |

na you cannont punch the shaft out with the arm still in place it has to come off to get the broken shaft out im afraid... it will be good for it anyway you can inspect the needle bearings and give them a bit of grease while you are at it.. if you remove that arm bracket (4 bolts) on the outside of the car and the one nut from the inside of the sunframe that holds the shaft in, you can remove the complete trailing arm, but best to disconect the handbrake and brake line and inspect it on the bench, cause i have seen thoese needle bearing cases crack and bearings go everwhere, wont do your new shaft anygood.. Is the shaft on a Mini,which runs on bushes,the same as the Moke with the bearings? YES. |

It is the same shaft as a Mini but has a needle bearing at BOTH ends. Great idea, as long as it gets greased, yours looks like it had a holiday from that chore..

Wives cause a lot more trouble than a broken suspension if neglected. |
