spent all day messin wiv leakin swivel ball seal....

losened every nut but 1... the top one of the ones that hold the plate that holds the seal in...

snapped my 8mm spanner,,, ive hit it, soaked it in wd40, hit it some more, bought a set of proffesional spanners, which rounded it... filed it down to 7mm, still rounded it, tried bashin a 7mm socket on to it and socket failed,

gonna have to take off the whole hub i guess.. so i can get more violent.. aaargh,,,

lookin at swivel ball its a bit pitted so i'm gonna change that at same time...

buster makes it look easy but i bet it aint gonna be...

did you use a 6 point socket instead of a 12 point?

Managed to undo the rest of the bolts holding the tub on and disconnected the wiring to the tub and also the fuel hoses. Removed the tub and quite happy with the condition of the chassis. I wire brushed the flaking paint and mud off and looks like it only needs a tank outrigger. This is its 2nd resto' as the rear 1/4 chassis and another outrigger has been done before and are still good. Brake pipes look okay but I will probably completely renew them. Here are some photos of the chassis before and after the rub down. I also drained the fuel tank.

couldnt find my 12 point socket set... but used 12 point ring spanner... and not much access for socket as suspension spring in the way...

but bolt head pretty much crumbled as it was so rusty..

should only use single head socket on hexagonal bolts or nuts

when you use 12 point wrenches or sockets on old and rusty bolts/nuts you will round the heads. Use 6 point tools and that won't happen

What's next for the chassis after the brush off/outrigger work?

nick2303 · Sep 5, 2011

finally got around to fitting the air bypass pipe around the MAF sensor (suppose to fool the ECU into extra air flow)
