To fit a new pin in the worn side it would cost about £200 with parts, delivery and fitting. Add to that the cost of powder coating and it will be over £250. It will never be a new axle though, the rust will still come back through the mounts in a year or so.
So for an extra £250 I can have a brand new axle with two new pins rather than just one and it won't need powder coating. If the mounts are painted before it rusts the corrosion will stay away for much longer.
My current axle isn't at the end of its life, there's no play in the bearings so for now rather than fork out for a new axle, solid mounts and bearings which will total over £600 I'm just going to give it a lick of paint and regrease the existing bearing, fit new seals, screws and reassemble it all.

Fuel tank came off tonight. 4 nuts, undo the filler from the rear quarter panel and disconnect the pump wiring and pipes. Now the big cleanup can begin on the underside, then it can be undersealed and painted.
Slightly dusty but easily cleaned.

Spent some money on tools this weekend...Machine Mart gave me a VAT free voucher so I had to go and use it...I think I did ok for £67...
So I got a grit blaster, a schutz gun, cheap trolley jack and a spray gun kit.
Rear axle and trailing arms looks quite nice.
Also got this for £8 from Halfords. Good price I thought. Saves breaking more expensive bike lights when I can't be bothered plugging my big light in.

All 206 torsion bars are the same length. I think it says on Servicebox the length. Something like 1031mm springs to mind but it’s worth checking.

Yes torsion bars are about that long and anti roll bar is about 1130mm I do believe.

Cleane enough? It looks ok but as it dried is started to sag a little. So I might see how it dries, overpaint a small area and see how it looks. If it's no good I'd do the bad areas again but thinner this time.

It took about 3 or 4 hours to clean it up and about an 2 hours to paint it all. Fuel tank had to come off too.
All done now. Time to order a stack of clips, seals, brackets, nuts and bolts from the dealer so it can be put back together.

Back axle reassembled now. News seals, plenty of grease on the bearings, new torsion bar bolts and washers. New bolts for the brake pipe and handbrake brackets. The U shaped metal clips at the end of the brake pipes have also been replaced.
Spent £100 on it all. Also bought a new fuel tank strap and 4 bolts for the tank.
Just waiting for new brake pipes, anti roll bar bolts and trailing arm clips from the Peugeot dealer. Hopefully they will arrive tomorrow. Then it will be fitted back onto the car.
Rear damper nuts and bolts, ABS sensor bolts and also the 4x rear axle bolts will be replaced eventually too.
