I used to OWN an auto detail company I think I know how to fully detail a car. And was fully aware of my front rims and know what brake dust does. And to correct you..it was more rust dust from the rotors since the car sits so much..not brake dust. FYI detailing also involved removing all accessories to clean underneath too. As for L.B.s air cleaner...lets just say he is a "Seeker" now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gpb9900 Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 I patched the floors in the Brat I recently bought. Due to its issues, it hasn't seen the road since I got it home. Next is carpet and seat replacement. Images available here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'84 Flat-Four Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 Working on replacing rear wheel bearing. Last night I: -detached brake line without breaking it. -removed lower shock bolt. -got the trailing arm low enough for axle to pop off the spindle. -got the threaded ring nut off using a brass punch (no special tool ) -knocked out the spindle and out came everything... -sat back and cherished not finding anything else screwed up in there... Tonight I finish the job with the new seals and bearing purchased from RockAuto. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'84 Flat-Four Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 Liquid Wrench like its going outta style!! Everyday for a week and a half I gave it a soaking. Sprayed the shock bolt, brake line disconnect, and the three bolts that hold the backside of the brake drum to the hub. Although in retrospect I'm thinking I didn't need to take off the backside of the brake drum. I should also have soaked the brake bleeder nipple for later; I tested turning it and it wouldn't budge. I started soaking it last night. I'll soak it again tonight 1st thing then work on getting the new bearing in. It was a knuckle buster, but it feels like a Soob rite of passage of sorts...

'84 Flat-Four Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 did three full revolutions with the brass punch and it threaded out by hand the rest of the way. No biggie... if I can do it, you can do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
