Sounds like you had a frustrating day. Great that you got it sorted.

Bloomin eck Ben. I'd have just re cut the thread and left it in.

It had to go so i persevered. I just find it fascinating how i stripped the other arm in 20 mins and this took hours!

The bolt on the other arm just popped out with one half hearted blow of the hammer, i imagined this one would too.....

Nicely done, perseverence or what!

Mmmmmm, primer

Yup, certainly nicer than a box of crusty dirty junk

[Ben_O]

I scraped the barnacles off of this crusty old hub too.

 

 

Ill give that a spruce up tomorrow

Are you using normal primer or etch?

[Ben_O]

Zinc is what i am using + it's all i have to hand right now

Your doing a great job Ben   I had the same problems with the front tie rods, upper and lower arms. Even my radius arms were knacked as the shafts had gone right through the bronze bushes and worn the arms themselves It's how it goes though but keep going. Once you have a few bits blinged up it will inspire you
