Been a little bit of a learning experience... and slowly coming together.. Broke a rear brake line, it was fragile and just snapped in my hands...
cleaned the floor....
brake plates going on
buttoned up - oil in trans
other side almost done but -
broke the dang brake line...
New final gear 4.12 no redux - cant wait to test drive it... |

| Looks like that line was due to be replaced anyway. You should replace all of them. |

You know - that's a good idea..... I bet that other one is just as fragile... Never even thought of it.. (miss the tree due to the forest) Thanx... |

Fixed the blue lens too... Cant wait to see it tonight... Cleaned the inside of the speedo too... It was pretty easy to take apart...
Great job on the bus, I have one question, my generator light (Red) is on the left side and oil (Green) is on the right
do I need to switch them? |

| no - I have them in backwards... My oil light is red and gen is green... They were both brown when I got the bus, I musta switched 'em when I took the speedo apart.... I have seen the red one blink after a hard run and then idling when its 100 degrees out.. my bad.. It's a jersey thing :) |

trailing arm - drat...
link pin from that arm
impact socket and a 12lb hammer takes these out...
used swing arm as a holder to drive out bushing

slowly but surely, I now know that king pins and link pins are two different things :) |
