I miss it now it’s gone

One bracket is firmly seized in the jacking point, hence the hammer treatment...

 

What size tyres are you running there ?

Looks tough.

Aww.
You could paint your sill silver!

 

195/14c front

225/75/15 rear

 

You could always get the file out ??

Its more usual to whack a kerb with it, either crack the bracket (me) or half rip out a jacking point .. somebody else who has gone so low they would act as stands for the bus now.

 

The Ali rots along with the steel. Yuk.

 

Spent the last week removing all the underseal from underside and finishing the welding, replacing the rear y piece, (horrible job)
new centre pipe, painted it all in red oxide and then replaced the underseal, it took 5x 1 ltr shutz cans, painted all the pipes and cable holders silver for contrast,

Still waiting for the brake pipe to turn up so I can continue

Oh the joys

Good luck everyone

Decided to change the top and bottom ball joints on the front beam , looked easy but wasn’t
Had to make up an extractor jig for the press
Think I will need some hardened steel tips for the next beam

 

New ball joints done and ready to install in nice clean wheel wells, and replacement heat exchanger has arrived now must start the rear end

 

@JamesLey are you the one in the video I watched on YouTube, re- replacing the rear y piece, new one is such poor quality just pressed steel, fell apart whilst fitting, wasn't cheap either

 

Which way did they press out, I have a 30t sealey press do I need to make that jig aswell, only asking as I will be doing the same job in a few weeks time

 

Yeap that’s me! They’re a bit crap aren’t they? Think I ended up rewelding some of it as the welds were awful.

Watching it made the job a bit easier, cutting in 3 pieces ECT, Cheers bud

 

They press in from the top so you have to turn them upside down and form a bridge for the two notches in the ball joints so you press them out through the notches if that makes sense, good luck it was a faff

 

Where did you buy the y piece from?
