Jparkes43 329 #102 Posted May 7, 2016 Hello all. Heres todays post. Started off by cleaning up the steering joints (i am replacing the ball joints, just need to take them out one day, one was so worn it fell out!!) They do look really good however!! I then started to work on cleaning up the brake drum. I think that turned out nicely as well! (tiny bit of work still to do) basically just needs some paint etc and it will be ready to put back on the gearbox I then set to work on the steering shaft, first of all taking the collar off by removing the grub screw and gently taping from all sides to get it off (taking note by picture of how far down it was placed) All clean!! Just some very slight bits to get out by hand. thats all for now. Thanks James 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
