A quick tap with a large tuning tool (Ammer), pop it back on and away you go!

This may not apply to you, but anyone who is building, it's worth marking bolts with a line across the bolt head to the part it is securing. So that for one, you know it is tight and secondly it is a quick check to see when it slackens.

Only appears to be the can that's knackered. You can get them from Westfield. Alternatively, my mate does nice turned ally ones!

Ive spent 2 weeks hunting the internet for that part and found nothing except the whole driveshaft for sale and since last night i have managed to find 4 places that sell the joint kit on its own.
