I need to fit a new front prop and rear prop rubber coupling to my D1 300
tdi, anything I need to know? Is it a simple job and anyone know the
nut/bolt size as I only have metric tools!

Watch when removing the rear prop as the centre spigot sometimes
doesn't go home fully, so you have to force the prop back to clear it,
or jack the chassis up so the axle droops. other than that it's easy
peasy, 15 minute job each end max .. ;)
