Autoforce Mechanical Repairs

Replacing the worn clutch on a 1993 80 series Toyota Landcruiser with a Holden 6.0lt V8 Commodore engine conversion this week. We replaced the rear main oil seal, machined the flywheel and fitted a new heavy duty clutch. The V8 conversion is much better than the original 4.5 lt straight six cylinder under powered petrol guzzler these vehicle came out with.

A common repair on the Holden VE Commodores is the rear wheel bearings needing replacing. The outer CV joint splines are almost always siezed inside the hub. Rather than hitting the CV joint and basically destroying it , we use a hydraulic puller to push the CV joint out of the hub. We can then remove the stub axle and replace the bearing a hub using the hydraulic press. Using the right tools for the right job will always ensure a good repair and happy customer!

VW Golf GTI in for a service and coolant leak. After inspecting the vehicle we needed to replace radiator due to the core leaking. Getting to the radiator sometimes means a bit of panel work too!
