    Fuck me. No wonder you won't be there tomorrow
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    Pass thanks. This was mostly user error, this user made a BIG fucken error. More right boot with grippy tyres and front diff lock engaged is not really the answer to a stupidly big hill thats rutted to fuck.

    Next time I will disengage the front locker.

    Why didn't you pull the cv and front drive shaft and drive home ?

    ? king pin bearings hold the hub on and wheel bearings hold the wheel on,cv only transfers torque and should play no part in holding the wheel on!

    Correct, first inspection looks like those 54mm nuts that tighten and hold the bearings and hub on have stripped themselves leaving nothing but the cv supporting the weight of the wheel via the drive hub which then snapped the cv at the wheel end of the cv like a carrot.

    So at the moment wheel is only supported by the way the hub assembly keys in by 20mm and the rotor and caliper are the only things stopping it from coming out.

    Will take some photos for you when I pull it apart today.

    When it first happened we thought it was just the cv and had to drive it through some real shit stuff to get back. Hopefully that didn't cause too much extra damage.

    Hoping new cv, bearings and this http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/List...x?id=764244336 is all it needs. Fingers crossed the spindle is all good
