EndStar Posted December 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2014 Started removal, broke a brake line :( ugh time to do more tomorrow! Quote Link to comment
EndStar Posted December 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2014 So i need to locate the metal piece of brake line that leads into the wheel well, for driver and passenger in the front. Other than that I made great progress, have it all apart and grinder down just waiting on my guy so he can weld it. So here are some update pics! Thats a clean cut! And all 4 struts decided to be blown and throw oil everywhere :/ Oh my! Got both of my rear spindles out quickly and easily, I'm so lucky! Quote Link to comment
AdvanZ33 Posted December 22, 2014 Report Share Posted December 22, 2014 In for progress. Quote Link to comment
EndStar Posted December 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2014 i read some people put oil in the strut housing to cool the struts? any info on this? because all my struts were blown and i can re-use the oil. Quote Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted December 23, 2014 Report Share Posted December 23, 2014 i read some people put oil in the strut housing to cool the struts? Lots of old school mechanics say to do this. And it can't hurt. Of course, I never overheated one because I didn't... ^_^ Quote Link to comment
EndStar Posted December 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2014 i might do it because why not? wont hurt, just a bit messy. thinking of doing a dark purple rattle can Quote Link to comment

Slowpoke Posted December 23, 2014 Report Share Posted December 23, 2014 Use fresh motorcycle fork oil if you are going to fill them. I personally would skip on the oil. Quote Link to comment
