Rolls-Royce 20/25 - removing the rear axle

 

 

Rear axle

 

The car being lifted off the floor.  Stands were place under the chassis to keep the springs and axle free from obstruction.

On jack

 

All connections were released.  This encompasses the  propeller shaft, brake cables and one-shot system pipework.

The axle 'U' bolts were removed, followed by the spring rear shackle pins.  The axle was then lifted away from the car.  Note the axle locating lugs on the top of each spring.

If only all axles were so clean!
