Found one of the new tyres had gone soft - I have now had the alloy wheel bead wire brushed and liquid rubber compound applied - tyre refitted and leak test looks good so far.

This posting may have been helpfull, on the other hand probably not... Either way, I may have had drink when posting it in which case it's probably not as helpfull as it could have been
Work safe, and remember all technical problems can be resolved with a hammer, the trick is knowing where to hit it and how big a hammer to use (I often find it may also help to have a spare bit in the shed to replace the bit you have just mullered )
Work in Progress (or not as the case may be) I give you.... 'O-no' the truck.

Carried on with stripping rear axle ready to replace with another one, all this due to pinion seal leaking and cant get another one....so went for an intermediate fix.
When axle off i will then get a seal sorted one way or the other.
Anyway found out the hard way that the leaf spring dont half go "twang" when you release the U bolts, had a jack underneath supporting but for some unknown reason i thought it was in the way....dooh !!!!!!!!!!!!
Now have a bruised hand and an egg shape bruise on my arm which got caught underneath it, second U bolt removed with more respect.
New lesson learnt everyday..
