Froze my ass off. But still pretty productive day...

Just need to go back through and double check torque on everything and then it'll be time to bleed the brakes and go for a test drive.

Just in time for the snow storm!

It was cold here today.

 

[grubscrew]

Yep, it sure is chilly in the northern hemisphere……, cold heavy fog, and no movement in the air…….still I plod on. Removing front leaf spring eye, did one, then thought I’d better do the other even if it wasn’t as bad.

I cut out old bush with a starret hole saw.

It seems you cannot get these eyes from anywhere, so managed to find an agricultural machinery store who makes all bushes/ eye mounts. With a bit more to take off for the rubber bush I machined it to make a snug fit.

Yes nothing better than busting your knuckles on metal when it's cold outside.

Nice job. Just did the same. What torque did you use on the 4 cone nuts and 6 outside star nuts?

 

[Redtexan]

New electric hubs, rotors, calipers, and brakes installed on one side Moving to the other after I eat to hopefully get her on the road tomorrow.

Yep!

Too cold for me to get out to my large, unheated garage. It was -28 this morning or -18F for our non-Celsius friends. I’m hoping for more reasonable temps next weekend, as the cold here has put a damper on my work.

Gotta keep her warm in the winter.
Insulating and adding heat to my shop was a game changer. Hoping to add a mini split system before summer this year.
