pick and pull

[gcash81001]

Please let me know if a red 96 shows up at pick and pull. I am looking for the rear disc brakes, I think it might have them. Thanks

if you would have beat me to the yard on sat. you could have got the disc brake setup off a 96 cougar.i needed the knuckles/hubs to replace the ones with bad bushings on the 89sc that were bad.calipers were still there when i left,did you get the vents and hood release handle?

I was gonna run out there today, but I think I'll wait this heat wave out a bit. Wait! According to the Weather Bug on my computer the temp just dropped from 99 to 98! I think I'll grab a jacket & head on out!

thats mean keith, but I guess it is first come first serve Hopefully that car comes in soon, I did not find the vents and hood release

how would you take the knuckle off the axle?

[Roadhawg]

I used a pulley puller, to push the axle out of the knuckle.

hopefully i can find one to use when one comes out to pick and pull

[nickleman60]

i did it the old fashion way,with a BIG HAMMER!!!.......lol since you don't want the axles who cares!!

[gcash81001]

your right

[nickleman60]

i did mess one up slightly on the 89sc with a hammer.the first one popped right out no problem.the second one took a little more "help":eek: like a dummy i didn't leave the axle nut on there to help even out the blow to the end of the axle.:rolleyes: i kinda mushroomed out the end part that has no threads so i ground it down and cleaned up the threads with a thread file.i'd never seen one of them before but my welder buddy at work had it.anyway everything on the back,knuckles/hubs,brake calipers ,rotors and pads,uca's,shocks and eibachs are done.now i have to finish putting all the new stuff on the front end.it was alot more repairs than i thought it needed but at least i'll know that when my son is probably going faster than he should be that everything mechanically is sound. :D

what size is the axle nut?

[nickleman60]

i think it's 1 5/16".i don't know what mm it is but that socket worked for me along with a breaker bar and 3' piece of pipe to slide on the breaker bar.don't forget that you need something to keep the hub from turning,i used a big long screwdriver wedge between a couple of the lug nuts and the ground.

what size is the axle nut?

1 3/8" ...............
