#1: rear beam pivot shaft ?? Author: mjsroofing, Location: south walesPosted: Sun Dec 22, 2013 3:47 am ---- Other than the one on eBay does anyone know where I can buy them.
I am in the middle of rebuilding a rear beam.
I have changed the beam on it twice and they have gone within 6months of each other so I thought I'd rebuild the old one and fit that.
Not that hard to do once you worked it all out.

#3: Re: rear beam pivot shaft ?? Author: mjsroofing, Location: south walesPosted: Sun Dec 22, 2013 4:40 am ---- Not sure yet, hammer and chisel maybe.
Drill a hole straight through and slot bar in hole and turn shaft ??
Its worth a try as the beam is scrap as it is.

Did you see them hammer it out, can you describe how they managed to do so. With out looking at it again I would think to hammer it out you would have to remove the other trailing arm and insert a very long chissel from that end through the centre in order to hammer it out.

#7: Re: rear beam pivot shaft ?? Author: mjsroofing, Location: south walesPosted: Sun Dec 22, 2013 3:06 pm ---- So, is there any positive information available please. I am going to attempt the removal tomororow.
I have a few ideas but I will just have to see how it goes.

Yep this is going to be my last resort. I have already got to the point of looking.
I have already bought and fitted two new trailing arm bearings and have all four beam bushes ready to fit.
The only reason its not on the car is the fact that the one piveg shaft is just to far gone. I am going to try removing it tomorrow.
Its should take me long to remove the trailing arm again. So I will know fairly early wether or not its doable.

#11: Re: rear beam pivot shaft ?? Author: Edward, Location: In the garagePosted: Mon Dec 23, 2013 2:54 am ---- I imagine it's a interference fit and some heat might be needed...maybe.
