And know its time for the rear axle and wondered if anyone can help??
My questions are a) can anyone identify the axle in the tiger book on page 88 I believe that it is a MK 3 tina and b)any idea how to remove the hub shafts??

Many thanks

Definately a Cortina, with a salisbury atlas diff, Don't know which Mk it is though, could be 3,4 or 5 . You can tell them by the famous void bush 'ears' on the diff case

Surely that's "infamous"!
The cause of many a Cortina owners nightmares.

Seriously, I made a killing in the early eighties on those little beauties

Hehehehe

Unless it was your own, and then you would fit void bushes from an Estate, which were solid IIRC and never gave trouble again.....
