  16. Would doing a front beam change be out of the question? I have a newissh beam, new ball joints and pretty much a new steering setup (trailing arm, track rod ends, new pin, steering damper)
    the lot to go on but anythings a help! Unsure as to what tools and equipment (excluding the basics) .. id have to bring for this! guessing a press for ball joints would be required which is why im unsure...

    If not id just like to come and learn on adjusting my handbrake as this will be an MOT fail :)

    and im hoping my welding will be done by then if not i wont be able to attend!

    But yea, has this (the beam) been done before?
     
  17. Beam is possible by not the ball joints as you need a mega press to get them in and out. Depends how quick you work tbh whether you could do the whole beam also depends in rusty bolts
     
  18. No I'd say possible !! I might be dropping my engine as think gearbox input shaft seal has a drip since I filled up gearbox !! But best bring other seals incase !!
     
  19. @1973daisey @pkrboo bolts are pretty rusty visually,
    So the beam change and steering setup replacement is possible but just not bothering changing the 4 torsion arm ball ball joints this time? guess that can be done at a later date or would the torsion arms have to come off again meaning i may aswell all do it in a oner?
     
  20. Torsion arms will need to come off again to do the ball joints, I think someone on here was doing exchange arms with new ball joints
