A miracle....Slowy's cobra update

[stephen low]

More steps backwards today sadly.

Had a go bleeding brakes and almost had them there and thought I'd finish a couple of items under the car and finish replacing proper lock nuts on the jag inner drive shafts.

Was tightening the third stud nut and the torque wrench didn't trigger.

Managed to snap what I've learnt are bolts through the drive flange on the diff. I tapped the remainder of the bolt back through the flange and found a very close replacement. But have found, I think, that I need to pull the flange off to replace the bolt.

Lots of swearing at the stage....both at the Tigers on the radio and at myself.

Can anyone familiar with the jag set up confirm for me if I now need to get the flange out of the diff?

With the body on I am struggling to get any access at all to the bolts holding the disc calliper in place. I need this off to then drop off the disc and get closer to the diff flange.

Have made up my door switch holders and know what wiring is needed to get cabin lighting functioning but this has all been lost in this setback.

Anyway if anyone has some advice I am all ears.

Cheers

Steve
