Title: BOUGHT, pair of rear drive flanges for S2.
Post by: Richard48Y on Saturday,February 18, 2023, 10:14:02 AM

Someone forgot to use anti-seize when they last assembled my rear suspension.
The rear outboard drive flanges were a  :-X to remove and damaged in the process.
New are available but very expensive.
Looking for a set of good used.

They should have been loctited on and need heat to remove….

No sign of Loc-Tite, just rust.  ::)

Gave in and bought new from the UK since I had to order inner axle bearings anyway.
Much less expensive than the US suppliers at the current exchange rate even with shipping and duty.
