That’s great it went so easy, it took 1/2hr to do each split boot for me. Good work!

Was the old one sized on the shaft and not rotate? The one on my T3 didn’t. Sledgehammer wouldn’t move it, soaked it with Pb blaster, pounded it with some brute force, maybe a sledge. Then it broke free and was very stiff and had to pry it back forward with a 2by4. Kept going like this for probably 50 times before it was moving free. Still working Laughing

Yeah I actually got the clutch and brake pedal to rotate round the shaft bug when it boils down to actually removing the pedals it's just not gonna happen.

Heres 17 dollars worth the wire wheels for the grinder. These are 5/8 in. Cheapest of the cheap. When I was shopping I saw some for like 80 bucks a chip.

The whole chassis has been taken down to bare metal. There are a few small corners I will have to get to by hand and sand paper but over all the wire wheels and grinder worked excellent!

this tool(whatever it is) worked well for getting the beginnings straight. but a flat edge and hammer were needed for final work.

Do you have a body tool kit? The one with hammers and backers? Like this https://www.jegs.com/i/JEGS+Performance+Products/5...M4EALw_wcB
It’s decently cheap and will make your life much easier. Or a piece of cast iron you could use as a back like a front axle spindle?

HF has a cheap hammer and dolly set. Since there is no brute force or moving parts, it works just fine.

Make sure to hide the hammers from your wife so she doesn't use one to drive nails. Twisted Evil

The dollies make the hammers work. It's actually kinda therapeutic massaging the metal back to how it's supposed to be.

But just be careful what you hit with them. The hammer faces are much softer than a standard hammer. Hence all the divots in my square head body hammer from the nail heads!

I bought a Harbor Fright set, useless. Later, when mentioning this to a body man, explained it's the balance. If need proof, here:

Hope this helps. Smile

I am as much a professional body man as I am a professional golfer. I don't think a better set of dollies would give me much better results akin to a better set of golf clubs would bring my handicap into a decent range.

However, I have been pretty pleased with the results I have been able to get without any training with my cheap-o HF set. Plenty good enough for a hack like me!

Coming along nicely. I am not a fan of body work to me it’s boring but got to be done so I will be tackling that when it gets warm. My main focus right now is getting it running. Smile

make sure you wear eye protection when using those wire wheels, they shed wires like a husky sheds fur in the summer.

Oh boy! First, those are T3 part #s on the bearing holders, not sure if that’s what it originally was and T3s could have switched earlier as bugs would sometimes adopt an advancement of the T3 a few years after its roll out. The one is clearly junk, is that a hole in it? The scar marks are bad but a hole other than the weep hole is awful. You could use a screwdriver ( Shocked ) or a piece of wood, melt it out, just don’t sniff it while it’s burning. Laughing

it cant be stuck if its liquid! Wink i tried the screwdriver. it says no no.
