I have also made do with a thin stanley knife with the blade removed and a pair of long nose pliers. obviously not as good as the actual tool, but a suitable make shift solution.

Looks like the KD tool, but there must be another one for the bands that are a bit like a belt with a clasp that needs tightening past the hole (like sucking yer guts in) to get the keeper in the hole

The axle is the drivers side out of the ute taken it apart all the balls and parts had minimal wear on them had to tap the balls into the holes. i have a spare of a L Wagon but didn't know if making noises had been replace from the car just need to pull it down to see.

And they're the bee's knees of CV tools - can't go past them for their ease of use and how quickly and painlessly the job can be done.

I would not have a clue, too me its just a heavy L with a oval cut out for dif inspection/drain. then bolts to the front of the diff and where your support arm is that holds the diff. ill send you photos if ya need

Can now concentrate of cosmetics. Two vW Scat belt guards protect fingers- a legal requirement in Victoria.

There are two belts now and too wide for a single guard.

3 wing nuts with welded bolts make detachement easy and quick.

Fitted my new bullbar to the Foz...

Looking good fellas!

Tweety, those guards are quite complementary compared to what I thought they'd look like!

Taza, your foz is looking very "grown up" now

Cheers
