Drum axles are going for about £70 and as i would rebush and bearing it for £60 i think it's a much cheaper option. Although my ideal is to get a gti axle cheap and refurb it properly before swapping.

i don't know where you get the price from but i shall list what i found these day.

trailing arm bearing, 45 per side, that means 90 in total.

axle bush, no idea about the standard one, but PS alloy bush is roughly 30 each, that means 120 total.

hubs bearing, 90 per side, that means 180.

various bolts and nuts, no idea how much they cost in total.

Hub bearing/wheel bearing, i would leave alone, Axle bush 4x£10, then 206 rear axle bearing kit £40, this includes the 4 roller bearings. The original estimate of £60 was due to me forgetting there are 4 bushes on the axle, not 2.

I'm getting the parts from ASK in Kippax but they are supplied by Andrew Pages. I need 2 Axle bushes per side (not sure how to get the old ones out and new ones in) then 1 trailing arm bearing per side plus i'll do a proper job and do the wheel bearings while im at it. Total cost of bits looks like <£90. Add that to my 'replacement' axle (Harry) thats about £250 plus labour. Personally i dont think thats bad for a fully overhauled axle. Scrappers charge that on ebay for a potluck axle.

Just using this drawing cgi.ebay.co.uk/PEUGEOT...4cf56eaa1a

Seems to come in pretty useful so far.

You need a punch to drive out the old bearings and a bearing driver to fit the new ones. Be careful you dont damage the seals on the inner ones as you fit them.....

I ok with the bearings, it's the rubber bushes i'm puzzled with. I presume there is no technique to getting them out, just force but putting the new ones back in..... any particular way to do it?

why are people scrapping there axles when the bearing has eatten into the stub axle? you can buy stub axles for quite a reasonable price i think i saw about £30 a side not so long ago! the only reason you should need to scrap it is if the bearing has let water in an its rotten

I dont think the parts that are the issue, it's the labour. If i were to take this to be done at a garage at £40-50 p/hour it would get very expensive compared to bolting on a secondhand unit. Refurbing the axle is all well and good if you have a big garage, plenty of tools, bit of knowledge and TIME, lots of TIME! if you need the car back quick then you need an other axle and bolt it straight on.

Right i'm pretty stuck now. Had an hour or so in the garage after having a flick through APE's lowering 'how to'. The idea was to get the torsion bars out and then tomorrow take the trailing arms off. Well i'm no longer in the garage and the bars are still in. I have been beaten by a offset washer! it will not budge.

Your about an hour, a cut and one more smack on the thumb from getting a rear axle dumped outside your house! In all fairness to the axle (if that makes sense) it has come apart really easy, bar this bit.

I did mine, bushes and bearings

£69 for bearings, £60 for bushes

Easy to do, no point in a second axle anymore imo
