So i planned on doing the engine work next but i am waiting a reply on some parts i want so i thought i would take the spare time and put it to good use by getting some parts stripped down and sent off for powdercoat.
So first job was to strip the front hubs down, I removed the backing plates and the bottom balljoint first off.
I thought this was going to be a nightmare to remove but with a wire brush to break away the surface rust and a good size hammer they came out no bother.
I then removed the ring which sits in front of the bearing and left the hubs soaking in WD40, I will remove the bearing before powdercoat at my friends garage.
The front backing plates were a little tatty around the edges in some places so to ensure a good finish once they are coated i cleaned the rough edges up with a bench grinder
Now the fronts were out of the way i moved onto the trailing arms.
An impact driver is your best friend when it comes to these screws lol
Once the disc and hub were removed i went on to full strip the arms down.
Removing the backing plates and unwanted ABS lol
ABS is for girls i wont be needing these anymore!
Now the arms were pretty much stripped there was one last job i had been dreading, Taking the bushes out! After reading up on the web it didn't seem to bad of a job! And after a few LIGHT-ISH taps with the hammer they just come out!
Job was a good'un!
All in all i have some what of a selection to drop off tomorrow!
I have already had some parts done but never got round to putting pictures up, front ARB, Front control arms, battery tray, Subframe support bar, the two L brackets that sit behind the bumper and the two front engine torque mounting brackets.
Thanks for reading again guys, More updates soon!...
