New to 4x4

[Neville]

Hi, just joined the Club. I have owned a 1997 Ford Maverick 2.7 diesel for about four months now.I purchased it 'cheap' as a second vehicle to use for my work. I also have 2007 Vauxhaull vectra which is now for sale because I never want to drive a car again!! What a great motor the Mav is. I tow a caravan and it is so easy with the 4x4, i don't have to worry about getting stuck in a muddy field ever again! Yes it's old but I have realised the parts are pretty cheap and its so easy to work on. I think I'm falling in love ha ha.

I am planning to renew the front brake discs. I have done this before on other vehicles but have never had to remove the automatic free running hub before. Is this pretty straight forward? I'm a bit surprised there is no haynes manual available ( unless you know other wise)

Also need a couple of wings in the future, any ideas where I can locate these without paying Ford prices. Thanks

Hello and welcome. If the click on the quick links and then the downloads you will find how to remove the hubs and all other wonderful stuff there.
