Thanksgiving.

And the finished product painted in 2K black for durability. The suspension arms are not as different to the underbody color in real life as it is in the photo.

This is something I want to do, but admit it's a little intimidating.

It's not hard at all Ray. If you need some help let me know we could do it in a weekend, if you have all the parts. If not, then a couple of weekends.

Ah Ha. There you are. When are you going to be running?

With the right tools it is quite easy. I have a 20 tonne press and I bought a few short lengths of pipe (thanks bosswrench) to hold the disk hub with pressing out the axle and pressing in the bushes. I found that the bushes were the most difficult as they are very time consuming to remove. I made the axle nut socket myself like the way I saw other forum members did so I saved myself a $100 there. All four bearings were $100 which is cheap considering I am in Australia and everything costs way more here. I think if you have no problems and the right tools you could have both sides in and out within a day. I should add I was fortunate enough that my axles ect. had been remove fairly recently and my axle nuts were barely finger tight!

I made a jig for holding the upright, along with the socket. I clamped the jig to the bench and then used the lugnuts to hold it firm on the jig. Easy peezy. I did go up in incriments and after he step I marked the movement of the nut on the axle to make sure both nuts were torqued the same.

I bolted the upright to the wheel, faced it into a wall and got the missus to sit on it while I tightened the nuts. Worked a charm and didn't cost a cent. Ok it cost me a pair of shoes for the girl but it's a small price.
