Re:My 01 Jimny, another Norwegian

Lucky the bimmer wasn't hot pink or poison green :laugh:

Started working om the car tonight, dont have many hours left for the jimny these days. Dismantled the left hub, housing was full of crap..

Abs sensor bolt snapped of as expected


Old brake parts and the new



Tie rod had to be chopped off, luckily i had spares!

Old bearing caps out, new seal and caps in

Thats how far I got, finishing tomorrow evening!

Nice jobb
Wich paint do you use, do you also paint where the dust seal is?
I'm about to start with over hauling the front end

Its normal car paint, PPG Envirobase and clear coat. The dust seals were masked off

Finished the job tonight, sort of.
Drilled and tapped the abs sensor bolt hole

Greased up and ready

Heres the old bearings, stuffed up good

New brake parts in, looking good among all the rusty parts :lol:

And heres how you bleed them


And then the right side

When i wrote sort of finished, the right side has to be taken down again.. i was just changing the seal on the housing, since i changed everything 1,5 year ago on that side. But apparently it have had enough time for water to come in so the bottom bearing was not good. Cleaned it out and greased it good, mounted it all together again. Just put a order in on BigJimny for new bearings and put in two tie end rods also, then I have changed them all.

Havent tried the brakes yet, but tomorrow after work i will run them in

You'll like the green stuff pads, they are very good even from cold and keep going once hot too.
