[ATTACHMENT NOT FOUND]Between talking to my regular mechanic and watching the videos things have gone perfect. I told my mechanic that I will give it 1 try at getting the races in, if it doesn't go perfectly, I will bring the hubs to him to seat them....He thinks it will go fine, famous last words.....Should be some time this afternoon when I give it a "square" go...



I think the key was getting the hub hot enough to melt the grease out as mentioned briefly in the video. I will re-heat them prior to trying to install the races



Still waiting for FedEx "Out for delivery" Harbor Freight tool



Everything out, cleaned, and ready for re-install. "While I'm in there" new brake pads, sensors, and anti-vibs. Crazy how pricey the anti-vib "stickers" were

Just make sure you grab the right box - you don't want to be trying to press the Totino's in there...

I used the same harbor freight seal & race driver kit, heated the hubs and froze the races. With the races frozen and taking my time, as AJG suggested, they went in pretty smoothly the second & third times.



IIRC, I used the flat side of the drivers instead of the beveled side.



Good luck!

Finished!! Test driven and all is well!! All in all, I must admit that putting the races in was a PITA! Had a press been available it would have made the job easy. But I enjoyed the process and of course the results. The back pain I could do without, lol

How did you get the red calipers? Mine are black.

My original were black as well. When I converted to turbo charged engine , I upgraded the brakes to "Big Reds"

Ah, I am sure that was not cheap. Mine work for now. I might do shocks and struts so need to save up for that. (ow).

Nice photos and updates.

Thanks

If you like Koni shocks and struts, Jason from Paragon Products is highly knowledgeable in supplying exactly what you need. The struts were too involved for me at that time so I let my mechanic do the struts. The rear shocks were easy and I did those myself.

Thanks. I have not even looked at them yet. I sort of prefer BIlsteins, but will see what is available when I get ready. I give all that crap to my mechanic. I hate working on my own car and don't really have a place to do it anyways.
