[TEQ]

1. Correctly attached my battery cables & ground strap. Ground strap goes from a bolt on the starter to the frame. Hot lead (red) goes from starter to battery, and black lead goes to frame just in front of the strut brace.
2. Used Plasti-Dip to coat the arm that sticks off of the battery tray bracket to hold the fuel line. Worked great; looks like it came from the factory.
3. Installed my shiny powder coated battery tray bracket, new battery tray (I made some rubber insulators out of gasket material in leiu of the OEM pads that were originally between the tray and bracket). I also installed my newly powder coated pan that goes under the radiator and belts.
4. More cleaning and prep on my hubs (the thang the disc is attached to, not the lockable part). First I removed my discs from the hubs so I can get them turned. Then I removed the inner bearings and races and cleaned a lot of the rust and grime. I did not remove the outer races yet because I discovered I didn't buy outer bearings and wasn't sure if new bearings come with races (they do). Hubs are ready to have new races & bearings installed.
5. Preped my knuckle housings. The powder coater didn't mask them quite right so I had to wire wheel off some tough powder coat in some spots and add some POR15 in other spots. Replaced a few studs.
6. Got my axles (inner shafts and birfs) together. Made a mistake on the first one: didn't have the inner clip in it's groove (see pic) and once I had the outer clip through the spindle and snapped I was hosed. By hanging the axle from my vice I was able to finagle the clip into place. Did it right on the other one.

Didn't take pics of most of it... sorry.

I'll pick some inner bearings up at the Toy dealer tomorrow and I should have these puppies back together quick:

My wife is buying me a workbench and cabinets (anyone seen www.baldheadcabinets.com's stuff in person?) for my garage for my 40th (Sept 10 if you want to get me something too) and I want to paint the floor in the garage before I install them... I gotta get wheels on this thing so I can get it out of the garage!
