Next up the seized bolt.



I center drilled it on the mill and then used a dead center in the press to free it up and a long socket to push it through.





It went with a bang.

I drifted it out the rest of the way.




Another job done.

Got the rear drivetrain bits blasted and painted. These are first coat pictures but I did the second coat this morning so they are done.





I have new bearings, brake seals, ball joints etc to go on. Be rolling soon...

Cheers

Nice work!
I gave up trying to remove the bolts out of my rear uprights and bought another pair with them pre-removed

Its definately handy having some big tools kicking around! If I hadnt been able to push it out I was going to mill it out but I managed to save the mess.

They come out a lot easier if you can spin the bolts in the uprights with an impact gun, soak over night with oil, then they come out with a drift and a big Ammer!
