I've been waiting to see updates on this. Can't wait to see it done if you take it to car shows around the Chicago area.

The engine should be in and done in the spring. The paint sometime next year hopefully if I have time and cash:)

So onto the rear wheel bearings so I can strip and paint the trailing arms.

First off, I should have at least taken these off before they were off the car, what a pain in the ass without the weight of the vehicle.

Anyway got the clip off and the hubs off with a little leverage from a large tamper bar and some lug nuts.


Used the same lug nuts to remove the hub.


Of course the bearing was stuck in the trailing arm. So I used a contraption I saw on a youtube video to remove the bearings. 3' to 4" PVC coupler, 5/8" threaded rod, a few nuts and washers and my 46mm socket.

It worked fantastic on the first one, bearing came right out with a lot of turning.
