Re: '58 (nash) rambler american family project
today we dissassembled both front hubs and ashley's axle. we cleaned the surface rust from the discs with a twist knot cup wheel on the grinder, vicious things they are. odd wires fly out and dig in you, even through clothes. anyway the hub swap was straightforward except the inner seals were about ...

Re: Rob & Stu's 69 Sport Satellite
i'd do as blue says and give them another 1/4 turn. then check how much more compression the lifter has. as long as it's roughly in the middle of it's travel you're not going to hurt it.

Re: Rob & Stu's 69 Sport Satellite
i agree with the lack of preload, i thought the same when reading this but blue beat me to it. i wouldn't be so worried about the 20/50 though, maybe 10/40 would be a good compromise?

Re: '58 (nash) rambler american family project
yeah, sometimes the simplest jobs are the biggest ballache matt, lol. i've got a cheap hand pump vacuum bleeder for brakes, it makes it an easy one man job. those steering wheels can seem like they're welded on sometimes too, been there myself. after moving the old lathe over the road today i had a ...

Re: '58 (nash) rambler american family project
monday we started assembling the front spindle/hub/ brakes. the used ford round back spindles had inner bearing/seal spacers pressed on for whatever hubs were on them. these needed pulling off (with some heat) and then turned down into a thinnish sleeve. this was because the hubs were for a disc con...

Re: '58 (nash) rambler american family project
i thought i'd check with rock auto for the short explorer half shaft cost. i know there'll be some duties this end when they arrive (26th, next friday!) but at £250 including shipping for 2 brand new dana shafts there's no point getting the used ones shortened and resplined. plus it'd probably be we...

Re: '58 (nash) rambler american family project
first things first.... the camera battery seems to have died and won't charge . to be fair the camera's about 20 years old and the last battery i bought was probably at least 10 years ago. looks like another one is due if they're even available, lol. back to the car, the old axle, wheels and front s...

Re: '58 (nash) rambler american family project
i thought we'd have a 'look' at the damaged o/s rear 1/4 to see if it's saveable. eerrrrrr........... that'll be a big fat no then. the arch doesn't matter as they'll be radiused anyway but above that going forward and almost back to the rear light the metal's just too stretched. it didn't help when...

Re: '58 (nash) rambler american family project
well, there's no going back now :shock: the back axle, fuel tank and complete front suspension is out and on the floor. so it's not coming out until it's on it's new wheels, suspension, axles etc. everything came undone with no snapped bolts which was a bonus. i reckon the tank will be reused, it ju...
