Re: Changing propshaft. Easy?

Easy enough . New bolts/ gaskets at either end and clean out the threads . You are supposed to mark the old one before removing and refitting .

Re: Number plate light screws

Only info i could get is that its a filister head bolt M3 size . Nothing on length or thread pitch.

Re: Changing cv boots.

Just to add a little to this one: I see in the Bentley Publications Service Manual for this that they say you can thread the big CV retaining bolt back into the joint itself and it's long enough to reach the end of the driveshaft and pop it out of the joint. No hammers involved. I haven't done this...

Re: Helicoil brakes.

I have never had a problem with mine. Plenty of release oil soaking then gently drifting out from front to back with an appropriate drift. It's hard to see how they could seize to the point where they can't be drifted out. Also replace with liberal copper slip on the pins. Thanks . Mine are definit...
