Finally got the axles out of the hubs thanks to an impact
Long story short the bearings are going to be replaced
Just need to get the hub pressed out now

For coilovers i have Ksport Coilovers. They offer a setup for e30's that include "true rear" coilovers in the rear that i really enjoy in my drift e30.

Will look into them as well

I got the harbor freight being puller kit. Haven't used it yet but I think it would work

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

I think I know which one you're talking about

I have that kit too. Worked amazing for doing my coupe bearings=)
Didn't you use a slide hammer?

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
Popped off the ebrake hardware and dust shields
I will be cleaning up and re using the hubs per snaps advice
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
-
Thats how I handle it too *thumbs up*
-
Ready for reinforcements! (Garagistic just released some more, so I may re visit the front subframe) but here they are ready to go
Also got the axles off the diff
And had some stainless lines made today. Idea is to go right from the T where the main line comes to the union and run stainless all the way to the caliper
Was under the car and 4' should be long enough. We'll see how it works

I know that braided lines have less flex than rubber but there's no way it is comparable to a solid line. Any concern about a loss of braking power?
