Oh ya....the brass drifts I ordered yesterday"missed the truck " for delivery today, imagine that. So I took a chance and used a steel drift....no drama just bearing races hitting the floor.

I've never worried about using steel drifts for removing races, but I always use a brass drift for installation.

Ya....for never doing this before, I'm ok with it.
The front would have easily been done if it was just spindles and coils. The UCA kicked out butt.

I bought one of those bearing seal driver kit with all the different disks. SIL said it worked great. Its made of aluminum so I wasn't too worried about it galling it all up.

I probably shouldn't have said that I always use a brass drift, because I do have the aluminum bearing installer kit and I used it when rebuilding my 8.8.

They look good both ways. What's up with that block of metal between the spokes? Kinda ruins the look and doesn't look like it adds any strength.
Tell me you're not going with black wheels?

Ya....they are going to be black. There is a color change coming to the girl, eventually(hopefully this spring) And I have a hatred for chrome, lol.
Not sure what's up with the blocks between the spokes....I won't see them behind the steering wheel, and others won't see them when it's driving. Lol.
