Seized rear fulcrum shafts
I have to replace the rear fulcrum bearings. The eccentric shaft is seized very hard into the sleeve. Do you have any idea how to pull it out? I have a big hidraulic press, but I don't feel like to remove the whole wishbone-hub assembly from the rear axle. Big hammer was not enough.

Hello Laleekiraly,
Yow, that bearing looks pretty gnarly!
Sorry you didn't get any help. I would have if I could, but I probably know less than you!
There are some good folks on this forum, but I don't think too many of them like to get their hands dirty!
Anyway, good luck with your Jaguar.
Regards, Retro

Hi Retromotors
I realized, this is not a DIY repair. It needs a workshop. Fortunately I have .
So, if nobody knows the secret I tell, how to replace the seized rear fulcrum shaft:
The shaft is 14 mm. It have to be drilled with a 13 mm drill at the center of the screw head, a little deeper than the thickness of the head. After that, the nut have to be screwed on it with 1-2 cm washers. When it is tightened, the haed of the shaft will break. Be careful, the breaking head can fly away with the speed of a gun bullet. After that as the nut is tightened, the shaft will slowly come out of the hub holder. After some tightening, the shaft can be hit out with a pin and a hammer.
After this success the next problem is the removal of the bearing race, if you have not the oem removal tool. The hub holder can be drilled or grinded to make place for knock out the races. This will weaken the hub holder. Better, if you weld a srew or something into the race and you can hit or pull it with a hammer.
I hope this will help somebody.
An other problem:
I did a full suspension overhaul. The front road springs and the spring plates have been powderpainted. Everything is new. Now the car is ready, but sometimes "spring" noise is heard from the front suspension. It is sure, that the springs jockey. Will the noise go away?

As for the spring noise, I would assume that is just the newly coated surfaces getting worn into one another.
If that is the case, it should go away soon.
Just a wild guess on my part, I don't really know!
