Hi all.
I thought that I would write up today's activities as a supplement to the removal of rear hubs as prepared by russellw in the tech resources section. This applies to AU2/3 IRS. In this example, I removed both half shafts to facilitate the replacement of my rear swaybar. Article relocated to Tech Portal

I fitted the same bar to my TE50. Can't remember exactly what I did to get it in - can remember it was struggle and son-in-law was helping - but didn't remove driveshafts that's for sure. We had the car jacked high.
Anyway, nice job of documenting how to remove the driveshafts. Going that far I would have replaced the bearings as they are a known problem

My bearings are ok (touch wood) at the moment so it can wait, not that I have the kit to separate hub! Cheers to all the compliments Thanks, Stu.

Can you just drop the diff to get it out? To replace the swaybar that is?

Many, many thanks to AU11LTD, I'm old school and used to pulling axel out and smashing bearing off with a hammer and rag and press it all back on. Also thanks to Macka for pointing me in the right direction to the info WITH pictures. Thank you again men!!

Hi guys, I've removed the rear disc assembly so that I can change out the hub & bearing on my AU 2 XR8 and can not get the hub and backing plate apart from each other. I am at a bit of a loss, I seen a video on the front hub & that had a circlip at the back of the bearing but no such thing on the rear, not that I can see. Any suggestions PLEASE. George

I have sent a PM to auIILTD so that when he comes on he will come here and give you some help
Sorry but I have never had to do one of these so I don't know. Hang in there

George, they will need to be pressed apart. On the inner side is a circlip that has to be removed and then you can actually press the hub out. Good luck. My mate and I used a 6T press with mixed results. Luckily the one we needed separated worked well, but getting the hub out of another (provided by Shayne btw), we were not so successful. We could get the hub out, but not the bearing. Here is a pic of the inner after I experienced a failure (you can see the circlip). Inner hub presses out from this side, bearing presses out from the outer side (once circlip removed). ![]() Hope that helps. Quote:
Cheers Stu

Thanks to both of you!!! So there is a circlip behind the bearing!! The videos I've seen didn't show a clip except on the front. I should be able to move forward now! Thank you again. George

Circlip is on the inner side George (axle side). The bearing is then pressed out from the outside.
Cheers Stu
