Front hub stripdown
Attacked the front hubs yet again. They have being giving me problems. Especially the offside which the CV joint was firmly stuck. Whacking with a lump hammer had just damaged the end of the CV joint and not freed it off. Today however I managed, using a combination of hammers, breaker bar, and rather unsafe techniques to reduce them to their component parts. In doing so I discovered that I have a pair of probably expensive after market alloy 4-pot calipers. I knew they were not metro or mini standard fit but it was a nice surprise when I lifted them away to find they were as light as a feather.
I’m going to recondition the hubs, new bearings and so on. The stuck CV is now scrap but I’m gonna need a pair of drum brake ones anyway so I’m not that bothered.
