Took me front axle off at last, and lined me disco front spring up so as the 110 could get aquainted:D

Oh ! and couldn't get the calipers off cause the bolts have rusted and there's nowt left to grip on,,, what to do:confused:

It depends on what size set you get (1/4, 3/8, 1/2) You could also try welding another nut or bolt to the ones that you can't get out and use that to turn it.

Good idea, I did that once with a cam belt cover on a Clio Williams and I've done it on Mini brake adjusters so Why didn't I think of that. Must be gettin old..

Think I'll store them and use the hubs I got with the 'new' axle, prob done less mileage anyway.

I'll start refurbing them as soon as, wife wants a couple of jobs doin first:rolleyes: :rolleyes:

:rolleyes: only gave it a blast up as far as podemore (needed to see the manager of the stealers before they shut) also dont have much fuel left after it was flat out for about 6/7 miles :D
think the stealers are getting close now but no cigar yet !:mad:
 
fitted the drinking water tank in and have made some rather nice lockers around it, only stopped by the fact we are going to my girlfriends parents for dinner tonight.
 
Been for a drive out to see a couple of friends I haven't seen for a while. couldn't go before cos I din't have any transport. Oh it's fooking great having the 90 on the road.
 
I've shoved me new front axle under the 110, minus hubs, fitted me disco springs and attatched it to the shockers, then went home for tea.:)
 
Well I went out with the idea of stripping and checking the front brakes 'cos its felt strange on the right recently but I ended up changing the right hand swivel and bearings.. The swivel was always pitted but I found the bearings broken up and the whole hub moving under braking.. scarey
 
picked up 20 alloy wheel nuts,brakes don't feel right so either another wheel bearing is on its way out or a pad has worn out.....
 
Got stuck in Rose's cider orchard, in wet grass. (Pics to follow tomorrow if I can be arsed to plug my phone into the compooter). :rolleyes: Going to pick up some mud tyres tomorrow, hopefully. :D
