been getting dirty today, started cleaning up the hubs i got from jdmsport, turns out one bearing is f*cked, and has the strut pinch bolt seized in...
but, importantly, after and hour or so of heating till red, then battering witha club hammer, the N/S one is almost good to go, just need to drill and tap the ABS sensor bolt hole and then wire brush it and hammerite it. might take the other hub into uni and twat a new bearing in, if i can be arsed/can afford it. as long as the horrendous bearing noise from the left is sorted, ill be happy ish.
also stripped down the gti inlet ive got and started attacking it, gunna smooth off all the casting marks then paint it black. gunna do more with the dremel tomorrow me thinks.
no pics, phone died. maybe tomorrow
