          Long story short the bearings are going to be replaced

                I have a set of stance coilovers I may be interested in selling. I was very impressed by their ride and build quality.

                    Going to a friends shop tomorrow to use a press. If for whatever reason that falls through, what kit did you go with?

                      It cost around $100 from HF. Not sure exactly which one

                                Went to a friends shop today that has all the necessary tools (20 ton press and the space is heated) we hammered out both hubs with a socket, extension & dead blow. Only one hub held on to an inner race. After the hubs were out we popped the snap rings out and pressed out the wheel bearings. We put the hub/inner race combo in a vise and slowly hammered it off after heating it (kind of a pain in the ass)

                                Finished product before cleanup & por15

                                8ab35439c107bd2dc7cdd3ab2347bfca.jpg

                                Popped off the ebrake hardware and dust shields

                                59bcc6186b08c0ebc5c52637e9adc6ea.jpg

                                I will be cleaning up and re using the hubs per snaps advice

                                1bf8c1e5dca41923e20195a7065fedf3.jpg

                                5b147bec6494c08f9df5205219911937.jpg

                                Can't feel those lines, but will be cleaning them up so they aren't visible

                                While we were there we also got the old bushings out of my lollipops. Either tonight or tomorrow I'm going to burn out the rubber bushings from the trailing arms

                                On Tuesday I get the last of my chassis reinforcements in and I'll be having those welded on by my friend. After all the welding is done I'll be cleaning them up to get everything ready for a few coats of por-15.

                                Still need to get the axles off of the diff/clean diff etc.

                                And still need to keep slowly collecting parts & address the rear brake lines and a bunch of other crap. It never ends

                                  What are you going to go for the hand brake? I saw that Wilwood makes parking brake calipers and I was thinking about fitting one

                                    Honestly. Probably nothing.

                                    I keep debating wether or not I should just put one back in 😕

                                      Actually I can't. I ran the hydro lines thru the ebrake cable holes because I'm an idiot lol

                                        You can get a locking hydro brake to act as a normal handbrake

                                          Yeah. K sport or whatever makes one that locks. The hydro I have doesn't lock. I have 6 different gears I can put it in to stop it from rolling away
