Hi guys thought I‘d introduce myself I‘m sam I‘ve been a member for a few years now but being excrement with computers and not knowing how to load images etc I‘ve never done a thread so thought it‘s about time so downloaded Tapatalk recently and thought I‘d give it a go I‘m a complete amateur and no idea what I‘m doing so we‘ll see how this goes lol.
Had my teg about 4 years now hers a few random pics from the summer
although in good condition I always felt the engine bay let it down so decided to bite the bullet strip it down and do a refresh over winter.
Reversed it out the garage to crack the hub nuts as there‘s not much room and thought it would be easier
Next removed the wings also thought this would be easier outside then back into the garage to do everything else.
Removed the rad and air con
Made sure to take loads of pics as I‘m no mechanic I just like tinkering with things lol
Removed various looms and other bits and bobs. Then moved on to the lower ball joints and driveshafts the driver side was really easy but the passenger side was an absolute bitch it took a lot of hammering to crack it then the drive shaft was the same it would not come out so had to remove the whole hub along with driveshaft still attached after many hits with a sledge hammer still wouldn‘t budge was gonna take it to a garage but decided to give it one last go and she finally came out
Then put the hub back together and reattached
After dismantling a few other bits it was time for the big day bought a crane and hooked the engine up and lifted her out
Next job was to separate the gearbox
Just sent it off to a local transmission company to be stripped the housing shot blasted 1st/2nd gear hub and synchros replaced along with all bearings/seals and a MFactory lsd fitted.
This is as far as I‘ve got hope you‘ve enjoyed the read there will be more updates to come
Picked up the gearbox today and am well pleased with the results the guys have done an amazing job on it
