Rebuild/reboot or replacing?

That's quite the preload too.

 

Well, I’ve got to fix the FUBAR ball joint bolts first. Haha

As for the boots, it looks like the hose clamp came off which is why the grease slung everywhere. I can’t see any damage in the boot.

It needs a lot of suspension and brake work but that’s a job for another day. I don’t have time nor money to do it right now. I just need it drivable.

 

@Kwikvette

Also, screw those stupid cone washer. I hammered at them for half an hour before I got them all off.

 

Hey, at least you've got pristine UCA's with bushings intact and splash guards.

 

I used this set -

$47 Mayhew Pro 61360 3 Pc. Brass Drift Punch Set

https://www.amazon.com/Mayhew-61360...9Y2xpY2tSZWRpcmVjdCZkb05vdExvZ0NsaWNrPXRydWU=

Using the bigger of the 3 they loosened up after 2-3 knocks with a 2.5lb hammer.

 

The UCA’s I painstakingly sandblasted and stripped all the ugly corroded black coating. I used Silver wheel paint on ‘em.

Sometimes I regret not doing them in Red.

The splash guards are made by @cnote4l — they’re some good shit.

 

Why are your brake pads wearing unevenly?

 

I used the middle one with my standard construction hammer haha. My hammer collection consists of rubber mallet, construction hammer, and 7.5lb sledge.

 

I was told the pistons are seized. This is why they went out at only 30k miles.

 

That's 1 more hammer than I own lol

When the brass punches arrived, I went out to Lowes to buy a hammer dedicated to those cone washers.

Didn't want to go too heavy, or too light, and 2.5lb was perfect.

I considered replacing the cone washers but at $5-$6 EACH, I'm like fuck that.

 

You want some thick splash guards? I can make you a set, $45 shipped.

 

I get to rebuild those stupid manual hubs again. Fixing the pawl and clutch to the spring is such a royal pain in the ass.

 

Callahan/powerstop? Amazon junk...

 

If you're including those push pins/etc. then count me in for a set.

One side is trashed, the other side is missing.

 

Power Stop. I’m going to rebuild them I don’t have money for new calipers.

Another day though. They still stop fine and I don’t have time.

 

The heck?

What happened, I thought you bought new ones?

@Wulf has dibs on my spare set that I just disassembled and painted. Just need to assemble them once my Redline CV2 grease arrives.

 

Aight, I need to order the pins for my own but they come in packs of 100 so I should have plenty for you too. Ill let you know when I get a set ready.

 

Wrong phrasing. I mean I have to reassemble them all over again because I tore it apart removing the CV axle. They’re brand new OEM Toyota Manual hubs when I installed them, they have 30k now.

 

You guys all need to quit spending my money.

The lunchtable keeps me from looking at the marketplace, only to spend money here too

 

If youre gonna rebuild, Id go swipe a set from the junkyard and rebuild those.
