Anyone interested.....?
So Saturday started thus.
I got the truck off the rear axle stands and then turned it around on the lawn, not a clever thing as there are a load of wheel tracks/trenches from the weight of the truck.
I usually reverse stuff down the drive as it’s easier that way, but when @PaulY got there we would be needing the front end facing the garage entrance.
A rare sight this way around.
Up on axle stands, wheels off and tools ready so that when Paul got there by 10.30 we could carry on.
Mickey came around to check up on us as he heard the motor earlier on.
This guy has always got a smile, even when things go badly wrong, he just grins and says something like “well, let’s think about it, we just need to get on and do this thing”
The blue house carpet I brought home last week came in handy, two layers helped against the bone chilling cold while the wind continued to drop the temperature for us.
Busy Busy Busy...... and yes, I helped (a little bit)
DIRTY BIG THING, DIRTY DIRTY DIRTY.
Lower control arm.
Scrape, dig, clean up using knife, chisel and brush, then washed with a hard toilet brush and loads of petrol.
Followed by commercial kitchen degreaser that smelled lovely.
Then once it dried away, pressure clean, wash and dry.
Clean parts are so much fun to work with.
The 40 year old bushes and ball joints still needed to be removed.
More in a bit.
