Did you specify reset lower? Looks like they been reset to standard

Do I see coils in your future?

No no I mean cutting them off The step behind the axle is the same size as the inner race, so cant get anything under it (shot outer to pieces all over the workshop once pressing on it) Cut collar like you did and whack with chisel Cut outer race cut cage cut inner race and whack with chisel off ye go Bearing is fucked anyways I do at least one rear in less than a year Fronts less than half that Also... HATE having to take the backing plate off/bleed brakes every time They never bleed right

Ho wow that's exactly like the Suzuki ones, except I have the odd tiny cutting disc/gas axe marks on the axle from doing them so many times. p.s I also do the same to the bearing

If you drive a Viva, minds will be blown

So its a lifting axle? Score

Drawbar sure is long Will be great to tow/back

Progress So the battery tray had been relocated from its original position, to about 1/2 an inch lower but the spot welded strip was left on the guard, so I cut/smashed it off. then tried to fill the spot weld holes, but wasn't going so well So I cut the whole tray off through the welds and bog over welds And underneath there was this The panel behind has been beat to shit with a hammer, and I attempted to fill the holes, but the more I looked at it, the more it annoyed me So I cut it out and made a new panel copying the lines from the other side My first ever attempt at making panels and I think it went ok, just need to be a bit more accurate on the gaps And welded in That is some of the nastiest welds I have ever done! I just can't seem to get the settings right on the mig, its so frustrating Any advice muchly appreciated, cheers //oldschool.co.nz/index.php?/topic/43865-mofs-1979-escort-panel-van/

I got our cat to fish out the mice from the ceiling and the dog to take them outside and "dispose" of them. They loved it

Just throw the cat in the ceiling lol

Or some shit like that Man sheepers you do some good work I don't quite have the balls to do that sort of shit yet, Or a mig that wants to behave

The man has spoken. Do not question the man (for he has spoken)

He did ask "advice on bending" e.g how Not "should I bend"

I'm a mechanic with no metallurgical training And I only said it would kill virgins, not babies

Got some gas and wire yusss Started off with 0.9mm, didn't go so well, now on 0.6mm, so much better (that's why I'm not showing the 'before grinding' shots) Started filling all the random screw holes and drill holes High quality fire extinguisher on the floor there^^ and cut the abortion clutch cable pipe off that was rubbing through the cable, and replaced it with a piece of the correct size and length. still needs a couple grinds, but its too late for the noise. Not so easy welding touchy thin panel with a manual helmet, so I quick-fixed the free auto one someone lost the battery covers from by free I mean saved from the skip lol

Well there you go Like I said, that's what I would do Then let almighty try find it at wof time he he

I wouldn't cold bend, or press it, now that would weaken it

Even if it WAS weakened, it wouldn't break unless the car was crashed hard into something, and then it's crashed, so it's not going anywhere. Now I'm really going to get it

* Edited for clarity Sorry I was babbling BPW cast heavy trailer axles are heated orange hot to remove and fit kingpins As are Mercedes truck axles. It specifies that in their manual. They even provide induction heater "special tool" That's just an example off the top of my head as that's my line of work. I ment if there's no obvious damage to the part, crack/stretch marks etc, I would heat it at the bend point, and put some pressure on it to push it back straight (pipe over end of knuckle and lean on it) quick wire brush, slap it back together. But that's just my opinion, if it was mine Do what you like Good luck Right, have at me

If it was mine, I would bend it Mainly because I'm cheap, and wouldn't want to pay for another (providing its only a minor bend*) Edit: its only 10mm, not 45 deg lol That's only my opinion if it was mine, do what you like with yours

Wow perfect fit Although that tube of glue could be a bit lumpy/uncomfortable And extra springs to go sqeekee squeekee squeekee all night Edit to add wink wink nudge nudge say no more

Didn't he say the z31 was the third?

Oh ok, when you said reading lamps I was thinking something like this http://www.narva.com.au/products/browse/pendant-and-swivel-lamps I have been looking for something like that, but was interested to see the light output before investing

I'm sorry but you're going to have to make the shed longer
