Success and failure... I welded this on three times before I got the taper to break... the first time the weld broke... the second time it ripped the surface off the hub... the third time I wasn't taking any chances... and it finally popped and separated the taper. Unfortunately I didn't have sufficient thread left to pull the hub and having removed the bolt to insert a piece of bar to give more push I noticed it was opening the opposite hub and convinced myself that I would damage the diff before getting the hub off. Two people said sometimes cutting the hub is the only option.Still... the half shaft is the expensive bit and that survived. I have a few spare rear hubs somewhere.
The second one came off quicker... more welding first time, and having had a quick chat with Ruairidh I wasn't so concerned about the diff...
Thanks for the help!
