    Where do you get newinner stub pins? The ones which the trailing arms pivot on... also where will press them in and the old ones out? Any help will be much appreciated!

    You need citroen specialist tools I believe to press them in, youll need pins for both sides, and bearings and by the time youve paid for the parts and labour to change them all etc bearing in mind itll have to be at dealer price because only they have the tools, you may as well get a brand new axle!

    Contact IM Axles (an affiliate on here) - They may be able to supply you a tube with new pins already pressed in.

    Ive got a bearing kit for both sides sat here and I'll be fitting them myself mate. Literally just need new stub pins. I've found some on gmc for 84 quid for the pair. Are they the cheapest place to buy from? Also I understand you need a huge press. Ill have a ring round some engineering places

    Cheers! Ive emailed them. There is a place that works on tractors by me so might ask them if theyd have a stab at it if they have a press. Its 120 odd miles from me to im axles is the only thing.

    My mate struggled to find someone who could fit them. Ended up going to some place which did truck engineering and they used some crazy tonnage press to fit them.
