There rear axle was the most difficult part to dissemble until now.
\nTo remove the hubs from the rear axles an enormous amount of brute force is needed (8 a 10 tons). After trying different type of pullers I\u00a0managed to remove them.
\nOne Hub was damaged and need to replaced. Lucky enough I found a good set of rear hubs in the US via ebay for only 53 euro (including shipping costs).<\/p>\n

After removing all dirt and grease I painted the rear axle in epoxy primer and 2 layers of gloss black paint.\u00a0After several weeks of dry time I could start to re-assemble everything.<\/p>\n

My first idea was to replace all bearings inside the rear axle, but after gathering information by several Jaguar specialists, I decided to replace only the left and right wheel bearing in the rear axle. (The pion-and crown wheel bearings are not replaced often) All oil seals are of course replace with new ones.<\/p>\n

For removing the old bearing and mounting the new one’s I used the home made Hydrolic Press (See special tools). Incredible how much force is needed to replace these bearings (approximately 8 to 10 tons)
\nAfter mounting all separate parts the rear axle looks factory fresh again.<\/p>\n

After the rear axle is lifted on top of the rear leave springs the can be mounted, including the rear shock absorbers.<\/p>\n
