Anyone Make A Kit To Uncage Jag XKE Rear?

Interesting thread.

Experience would say there might be a need to reinforce the wishbone at the outer end, also:

I fixed that problem by turning down solid round steel so it connects both pieces at the joint, I then tapered the edges and welded the joint penetrating through to the steel round.

I also drilled two holes either side of joint, these holes exposed the steel round, I then welded up the hole securing the round to the lower control arm tube.

I'm also using an inner reinforcement on my LCA's. Not solid round, but heavy gauge tubing matched to the I.D. of the arms. Should be getting them back from the machine shop today. Last of the brake components arrived yesterday and I can't wait to get started on putting the whole assembly back together.

I removed the cotter pins, castle nuts and washers on both sides.

I can't get the splined shafts out of the housings.

Tried a hammer and pointed chisel, and then my 10 ton press.
Released the press as it wasn't moving and I didn't want to damage them.

Suggestions ?

Thanks,

Jim
