Saturday was a busy day. I set about fixing the rear bearings on the car. I hadn't ever done them and I was convinced at least one of them was broken given the whirring noise I have had for the past few months. I've got disks installed so it wasn't such a worry given the axles wouldn't fall out.
Getting started removing the 4 bolted backing plate for the calliper:
Inspecting the old bearing - both sides looked identical and were both equally shot:
All pushed in and then the backing plate went back on:
Cleaned up my rusty old transfer box and fuel tank guard in bright red (only paint I had left):
Finally got all of Keith's body panels fitted and wired up. New fog light and a new numberplate light made with 12v LED's:
And she's drivable! For the first time in about 5 months she's roadworthy again!
A few more bits and bobs to do:
- Clean up the underside (transfer box forward) - angle grinder with wire wheel and Buzzweld paint
- New transfer box mounts
- New black steel rims all round
- Snorkel install (after treating inner wings with Buzzweld)
- quick touch up re-spray with green raptor
