As Wade mentioned it’s probably the hex that’s worn, especially if it’s been spinning over the axle. It’s a tapered fit, and will require the wheel to be fitted and tightened to push the hex onto the taper. Good luck with the resto. 👍 Enjoying your vids.
nice work, would be interesting to see the new screws, and how the diffs were, how bad etc, I recently bought new gear diffs for a car, prefer over ball diffs for some reason, I worry about how tight or un-tight is adjusted a ball diff
The hexes have no pin, it's just press fit when tightening the wheel nut, making the alu hex "grab" onto the axle. I think the re-release uses different ones, but I'd need to check
So that rear hex spinning on the outdrive is probably due to the hex being worn itself rather than the outdrive - that said it could still tighten up when everything goes back together clean - good luck you’ve got someone’s mess on your hands but it’s definitely a car worth saving!!!
