Recovering an Actros

I’ve always thought that pulling a half shaft was the lazy man’s way of going about doing things. The oil in the hub leaks out making a mess everywhere so the wheel bearings are not lubricated properly, road dirt gets into the bearings, and with the crown wheel not turning the diff gears still turn unless both shafts are pulled, so they are lucky to get much oil.

True but them Merc prop shafts are one heavy son of a ■■■■■ and we are all human.
End of a long day and you dont want to be ■■■■■■■ one of them bloody things about.
Far easier to pull a half shaft.Just a shame he picked the wrong side.
A mistake anybody could make.
Never mind its only a bloody truck at the end of the day.
