Thanks Guys, that is the procedure that was in my copies of "Fix your Ford", just was'nt to sure about the part where they said to use an impact hammer to get it out, and also if I was right with the type of diff, apparently there are 3 different diff's.. I have just got her back from having all the bushings replaced, and the guy said that it is definitely bent, you can see the tyre wobble as she drives [me driving behind S driving car], remember I mentioned this quite awhile ago, and I had thought that it may be the rim that was bent cos' the back rims were two joined to make one wide one, anyway now that I have the new rims and she is still wobbling I guess it can only be the axle shaft. When she still belonged to the previous, previous owner she was hit on that side at the rear.
