Only able to work for a few hours today but finished cleaning and stripping the drive hubs and gave them both a coat of Vactan. Preparation for refitting included sanding off raised burrs around the bolt holes and cleaning out the grooves on the periphery of the mating surface.

Tightened the O/S hub nut, fit the locking screws, nuts and split pins to the hub nut and refitted the half-shaft. Cleaned N/S drive hub, sanded off burrs on the mating surface (no doubt part of the cause of the oil leak from here) , removed the chrome and enamel AEC badge and stripped all remaining paint and rust ready for new paint.
