What did you do to your jimny today?

Since friday the misses and i have fitted 2 rear wheel bearings and new rear shoes, both bearings were well and truely f×$#*d and shoes were on metal. Back to smooth running and a handbrake that actually works.

Happy day's.

how did you do the rear bearing with a press?

Yep, we did it at the garage shes a mechanic at

cool im going to give the bottle jack way a go wouldn't fit under my flypress

Any garage should press the bearing and coller on for beer tokens if you take the shaft to them.

im not paying any one lol tube over the shaft bottle jack under it in a door way or similar and press the bearing in. I could lift my flypress but if you see it your know why I cant lol

Fitted my ora uprated transfer box mounts tonight

Wouldn't fit in our press at work either mate. Thick tube, scaffold tube would probably do it, and a large hammer, make sure it's home. I used a block from one of the ramp extensions to rest the hub on and keep the studs off the floor.

I never like a big hammer around bearings never seems right

I wasn't keen but needs must.

Fitted a new clutch as it decided to pack up yesterday

pick up some 25mm cds tube from a friend for the new panhard rods

edited later in the day:

had a afternoon free so made the rear panhard it ended up being 37.5inch hole to hole for a 3" lift and centred the body perfectly if I remember right that's a inch extra length used the new tube and the old bush ends, getting the old bushes out and back in was a pain in the arse im going to fit polly bushes very soon but I need to be able to move the jimny about



bent the old one up, I was told they were week but I was bloody surprised how week I bent it with just my hands and the wall only looks to be about 1mm thick




finished up the day making one side of my tree sliders welded it on and painted it ill do the other side some time next week if I get time
