VW Split Swing Axle and Reduction Box Removal

 How to remove a swing axle gearbox with reduction boxes???? First remove the castle nuts 1x 46mm 3/4 inch drive and breaker and a six foot scaffold bar....does it every time!! 1 x quality jack and two other wheeling supports........
 And just take it all out!!!  There is the small issue that this bus now has no rear wheels, so we will have to reconnect the reduction boxes and the swing axle tubes back in situ for transport to the blasters!!!
 Other than the fact that she has more undulations than the Yorkshire Dales this area is solid and will look brand new very soon.


 Inner air box flap is freed up and moving again - but I think that the knob is in the wrong position. Other cab details removed.
 Pedals out and gear selector.
Reshaped (whilst still leaving the patina) the spare wheel carrier so that you can!!!
I can see my bus in there!!!
