Gear box with axels

I collected my gearbox/ rear axels from their current resting place. Not going to be taking the gear box apart or removing the axels. Just clean and replace the rear axel boots and any seals.Fortunately I had loosened the 36mm hub nut whilst it was still connected to the car.

Once removed the brake drums just needed a light tapping around the circumference before they were free.
Next the four bolts holding the hub cover and the cover itself.
This left the rest of the brake housing which now just slid off.
I have left the axel hub bearings covered by plastic bags to stop any rusting. Then I transported it all to my house in the boot of my car.
