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!

Exactly how I got the other side off. This one, it wouldn't turn even with a 4 ft break bar and I was hammering like buggery until the end of the bolt was mushrooming with no joy so I made the executive decision to get the angle grinder out.

Uprights are ready to just bolt on now with all new brake seals, new rear bearings and new bushes.




Next I need to finish welding up the chassis and get the wishbone brackets tacked up.
