Nova GTE/GSi rear axle

Do they have an anti roll bar fitted as standard? I assume the standard 1.0 axle doesn't?

[bazil]

Correct

[Blackie_No1]

That's what I thought lol

it takes about 2 minutes to remove or fit one

[Blackie_No1]

Oooh what about SR's?

[mowgli]

Yes

mine took me 10min to remove the other day and that was with the axle off lol. It was tight even though it had been removed previusly to fit poly bushes lol

[MattBrown]

Need to add one, my question is, how tight of a fit are they?

As its all being powder coated, so I don't want to have to start shaving my powder off after the jobs finished to fit it

mine was tight and i was thinkinging of the same thing but i think you can get away with opening both sides up a bit as it is bolted down at both ends anyway.

undo bolts, get a metal drift on the end of it & then hit it properly with a hammer. it will come out really quickly.

refitting one into a powder coated axle beam will be more of a challenge, but filing the paint off the mating surfaces & then lightly greasing it will help a lot

All depends on how badly the people on the nova production line were working at the time as to what spec list you get on the carlollollollollol
