Re: Project 30 years sitting

This is the ball joint mess. I got in WAY over my head and broke tons of crap. Partly cause some was already broke, part cause I had no clue what I was doing. I had planned on doing both at the same time. But I am only doing one at the moment.

Intended to keep the spicer lockouts at the moment, thats gone.
End of axle shaft was damaged due to improper snap ring installed, and broke loose.
Didnt know there was two spindle nuts and an alignment washer. One nut was laying loose. Then I chiseled off the other nut via the ring, damaging the spindle threads.
Problems finding someone to install my own supplied ball joints. After 2 days found a source.
I had planned on just running some cheap brake pads and letting them clear the rust off the rotors, ha. It had already chewed up half a pad. So rotor will have to get turned.
