No need to explain why you had that photo handy Dale... We understand...

Only chicks I saw at Golburn were you and Craig, Alex.

Guess I had that coming.

receptionist....?

Forgotten that, or was that Artz?

That was Artz drooling.

Yep.

On topic, have there been any strange noises under your bonnet yet Dale? Swearing and the like?

Lol, how did you know?

It's all fitted, and I'm pretty sure it's leak free now. Entirely my own fault; I should've known better, I re-used the OEM clamps on the Bleed block.

Rookie error.

Ended up stripping right back to the valley, as I wasn't 100% sure I didn't have a leak on the bottom AN fitting. Ended up the coolant was sneaking down the inside of the Fireproof sleeve and pooling behind the plate in the valley.

Hose was perfect length, and with a tiny amount of detergent and a cup of boiling water to soften the hose; went together without issue.

EVERY SINGLE PHOTO I took has somehow been deleted from my camera, (4 year old camera aficionado to blame here), and I'm not pulling it down again.

I haven't had a chance to drive it far yet, so I'm not sure of the improvement, but going by the slug of air trapped in the valley; it can't be worse.

I think pressing the shaft out of the wheel bearing is the straw that breaks the camel's back (so to speak) on bearings right at the end of their life.

Amayama is the best source for replacement bearings; buy a pair & make it worth the postage.

[Sage222]

thanks bud will do just out of interest who did your boot?

Pretty much at any time of their life. Front (Flat) roller bearings require sufficient clamping force (the tightened driveshaft provides this), for correct operation. So, any excessive pressing/hammering/bashing of the shaft to remove it from the hub, will most likely kill the bearing.

If, for any reason, the car needs to be moved with the driveshaft removed, the outer cup needs to be removed from the shaft, refitted to the hub & tightened, or bearing failure WILL occur.

[scotty nm35]

They are not flat roller bearings, they are large ball bearings, split so two single races. I do agree though, they won't last long if the shaft is out, or has been pressed/hammered.

[533 RYC]

Ah ok Scott. Large RWD sedan stuff I used to work on were flat roller.
