Half Shafts & Hubs

[neiltechspec]

For any body who needs some Marina / Ital half shafts & Hubs.

I have a spare pair on ebay. Item No 190886666046

Didn't need to use them when changing the wheel bearings earlier this week. The originals came apart relatively easily.

Re: Half Shafts & Hubs

At that price they should 'fly away'. You could pay a mechanic that, just to press off the hubs and bearings.

I notice that the studs have been removed from the hubs these simply press out, sometimes needing only tap with a hammer to get them out. 3/8" UNF replacements are available from Rimmer Bros, Part No 21H5774. These should bed themselves in when the wheel nuts are tightened.

With the smaller keyway they are originally from an early Marina.

But, they will fit any Marina Car, 1.3/1.8 or Ital Car 1.3/1.7/2.0.

The hubs with larger keyways, had larger diameter oil seals as well, a combined change that was probably made in an attempt to cope with higher engine power in some Itals and the occasional Half shaft/hub failure.
Since you are selling a complete set of parts (less bearings that are the same size for all Marina/Ital cars). it's an easy replacement job.
