      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.

            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

                            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

                                          Ready for reinforcements! (Garagistic just released some more, so I may re visit the front subframe) but here they are ready to go 06e625ae05ba14e888e0bb03a8d50d85.jpg

                                          Also got the axles off the diff

                                          1985f0ed4047c984c16c55bcea17429f.jpg

                                          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 caliper82106213716caf161abd2346acabe51b.jpg

                                          Was under the car and 4' should be long enough. We'll see how it works
