I have just been reading through the blog and looking back at the work we have done so far, and its making me feel really happy about the whole project. Even after the fail we had earlier, when I bolted the tie bars in with the new rubber boots and bits all fitted, then tightened up the nuts and fitted the split pins only to realise it was the wrong way round and the steering buffer could not be fitted.
This caused a lot of expletives to get shouted back and fore until it was decided that it was all my fault, and that I should be ended there and then. So after that i set to getting the tie bars back out, this involved a lot of levering as by this point it was too late to be banging or using air tools. Well basically it wasn’t going to happen so i slowly managed to remove the steering arm with both tie bars still attached by using the 3 legged puller to ease the hub ends out. This allowed us to get the remaining parts in a workbench and heat it just enough to smack it out with a very short burst from the air-hammer.
Anyway the parts have all been refitted now this time making sure they are the right way round. We then put the wheels back on and packed it away for the night.
Guess whats under the cover???
