YRV tail light repair

Forum: 

Hi all,
Apologise for my ignorance in asking this question. I have a YRV 4trak and the mrs smashed a rear tail light today.

I called Daihatsu dealer and he said i can buy a replacement lens for £65 or the whole light unit.

I have inspected the damage and all the rear bulbs still work and the plastic is smashed and also some of the silver plastic inside the light.

Swivel play

Forum: 

I was checking my 1988 4trak for the forthcomming MOT and noticed excesive play on the front wheel comming from the kingpin area. I believe that there are 2 tapered bearings that may need replacing but has anyone done this repair work? Does the whole hub assembly have to come off or can i simply unbolt the 2 plates holding the bearings in place? Your advice will be appreciated.
