Is it a samurai or a 413? Samurais have wider axles and longer shafts.

Spot the Newbie!!

Sorry. As far as I know it is a Samurai

You can tell by looking at the front spring mounts.
For a samurai, the springs mounts will be slightly outside the chassis rails like this
(I think these are with YJ springs, halfway through conversion but it looks similar)

410 or 413 axle the spring mount will line up with the chassis like this

This is picutre of it and the damage it has.

Definitely samurai...
Looks like the wheel bearing has collapsed, so you will probably need to replace those too.
Does the vehicle have free wheeling hubs?
If so you could probably stick new wheel bearings in, set them to free and move it with the broken shaft... or remove the shaft
Does it have to move far?

[Beardy89]

Only 20miles or so.

I am viewing on thursday with a mind to collect Saturday so could gather bits, tools etc to get it rolling.

[twiss]

to make it easier to change i would see if anyone has the entire hub assembly with the shaft included
then you can replace the whole thing with 12mm, 13mm, 15mm spanners and some pliers

[Beardy89]

Thanks twiss some sound advice.

I will get hunting for a full hub assembly

[twiss]

You would have to remove the steering track rod end from the hub. The split pins can often break if they are old so I would advise taking a replacement split pin just in case

(I correct my earlier statement I think you need a 17mm for this one )
