Otherwise I'll cut the xg one off and use the xf adjuster bolt. May give more adjustment too.

I've crawled under and had another look. First thing is the XG arm looks identical to the XF one. I've used the XG one anyway, I can't separate it from the cable. It has what looks like a dome bolt head on it. Looks to be a separate piece but I can't see a thread. If I can get it off I'll try the cable in one of the other holes which looks like it might give enough length. Any help? The XF one just has a nut.

I did use the XG one yes. Noticed it still has the three position holes too, one of them marked "drum". Only XF bits are the handle and front cable.

Pull once for Parker's, pull again for headlights. Rotate for rheostat and rotate around until it clicks for interior light.

Unsure about the size or draw?

Anybody know what size the glovebox light globe is?

If I could like more than once I would. Throw some on ebay, you should sell a few easily.

Try not to bend them either as you pull them off. Easier said than done though. Lifting them from underneath or on top to start with rather than from one end helps. Lay them flat on a flat surface for storage, preferably not stacked. Helps them not to bend. If they train themselves into a bent or kinked shape they won't stick well. Can lay them flat in the sun to soften and straighten before fitting. Helps a lot, even try a heat gun.

S5 is in the back corner from memory, it has an adjusting screw on it for line pressure, torx head.

I've never put one back and never had a problem. Go hit up the self serve wreckers, might get lucky with an xg or xh one being soft enough to remove without damage.

Holy shit there's a comprehensive list. Thanks for the effort Dave. Where do you source parts? I assume being in the industry you have more options than I do. Edit: are those Inner diameters?

This is for Sparky Dave to chime in with his knowledge of AC. In this thread we can share knowledge, tech info and experiences with working on AC systems on X series cars.

It's time to order some AC parts for my ute. If anyone has some info for me that would help greatly. What size are the o rings in an XF and how many? I've found one place listing a receiver drier and TX valve on eBay. What should I be paying for these? Where can u get compressor oil and how do I know how much to add? Compressor is bone dry I believe, I just chose the nicest sounding one when rotating, from the pile. I'm planning to fit a new TX valve and receiver drier, new o rings and gas it with hychill. I'll buy a vacuum pump and gauges.

Yeah they aren't real cheap but I've had them in a few Falcons. They work great hot and cold, low dust, no noise.

What car is it? I've found QFM HPX pads to be awesome, combined with slotted rotors. Did that on an AU1 and it made a huge difference. Big car with small brakes though.

Pretty sure it's just late XF utes after the EA release. Called GLS instead of S Pack.

What type of ball joint seperators are you using on your X Series? I've always used a fork type and it worked perfectly until today. I can't get the upper joint out of the upright. Is it worth trying the claw type with the threaded bolt? This one is bloody stuck. It's already had a good belting which hasn't helped.

I've just always used RDA as they are cheap on eBay. Never had a problem and have bearing cups already fitted. Usually fit slotted ones but the ute is light and has no power so I didn't bother.

Just standard RDA.

Turns out the seals had a flat rubber lip that fits over the outside of the hub. Just knocked them on with the dead blow, done perfectly. Don't look anything like the e series ones I've done in the past.

Well the two hammer trick worked, after a few good knocks I belted it out from underneath. Thanks Now what do I use to knock the hub seals into the new discs? I can't remember how I used to do it, been many years and even then I think I used to damage the rubber a bit fitting them.

I'll try again today, thanks for the all the tips.

Torch may be the go, I'll try two hammers and or a dolly today. Need to grab that door handle off you anyway.

Yeah I checked the nut was off like 5 times haha. Fucking thing. I don't have heat, I'll try more belting tommorow. I even put another bar over the fork handle and stood on it. Still didn't move!

You can fit the grub screw type to the same base I read somewhere the other day. My BA one was rattling until I got the shits and pushed kt hard against the window. Must have done something as it doesn't rattle now.
