Finished the brakes on the 71.
Mandatory battles with W & W (Wasps and Widows).
They both like old trucks.
Now back to the 58....not yet the wife's DD needs cv axels and brake rotors.
After disassembly and getting the new parts I start to install the passenger side axel.
It wont go in. My brother told me sometimes you have to push really hard.
Guess I better man up and get this axel in. I almost pushed the car of the jacks trying to get the axel in!
Something isn't right. Check inside trans spline with old school calipers and checked new axel spline. Only a 1/4" inch difference!
Back to the parts store to get the right axel.
The core charge on the driver side axel is $11.00 the passenger side is $111.00. Go figure.
Correct axel goes in easy.
I found that it is easier to remove the a-arm to replace the ball joints.
Drilled the ball joint rivets out on the drill press.
Installed new brake rotors also.
No work on the 58 this weekend.
My brother and I are taking our wives to Hot August Nights in Reno. Temps should be in the 80's this weekend so maybe they should change the name.
The rest of the year is all 58 time, except for landscaping and anything else that comes up
