Re: GRIZZ’s ‘79 - 2WD BLAZER Challenge over in London, England. “~It’s not a Project

My day started with a crisis, so I requested a days leave from the boss, approved.

By about 12.It was time to try focus on life.

So I started with a job I was possibly not going to screw up.

First coat on the roll-bar.

I like that, contrast should be good.



Also tidied up the rear end where I had burned the bush and hammered the living daylight deon the rear end.



So I unpacked all the bushes where they were meant to go, just to get the idea.



Started on what I thought would be the easiest point, the ARB.



Hard to believe, but having it all disconnected and rolling round, this single nut took 30 minutes to remove, it was rusted and locked in, and the nylon of the nyloc was chewed up and pulled into the thread.



Next job to figure out will be just how to remove these uprights, including the lower bushes from where they are stuck.



And the next challenge after that one is these 27mm nuts……… their threaded shafts are long and make it impossible to use a regular socket or impact driver to unseat and unscrew them.





Looks like I may have to head to Halfords or somewhere to buy a 27mm ring and open spanner.

Little bit frustrating.
