Oh and the hub nut has previously been taken off by what looks like a chisel and hammer method, so should i get this replaced? I don't currently have a tool which fits this.
TIA of your help! I need it!

Hijacking this thread for a second. Just changed the fluid in the rear axle of my 61 pickup. Is the fill hole cap the same thing as a breather. Mine does not look like it vents. It's slotted at the top (Screwdriver slot?), smooth round on the sides, but the thread is bored through. Where on that cap does it vent through?bmcecosse wrote:EP 90 for that axle fluid - but make sure it's not overfilled, and the breather on the diff casing is clear - not blocked.

Well, that's how it is on a later axle, I don't know if the earlier ones with the filler round the front had the same breather arrangement -I'm guessing '61 is the earlier one if the filler is slotted rather than with the square hole.
