Nice Norm. It reminds me of when I did the C125 in my avatar. 'Cept I didn't have a gantry, operating table and a smarty pants heckling me!

Here's a reminder Norm for the axle seals

That's because I didn't take any.

All that writing you didn't leave room for the photos.

Trans' and chassis separated this morning and lift arm, steering rod, drive belt tension pulley removed from chassis. Removed input pulley from trans'. Then the fun started. Wheel hub came off the brake drum side with just a few taps. The drive side was a bit stubborn to say the least. Pullers would just not shift it. So up to the farm. After a good pressure wash to get most of the 30+ years of caked on crud off, the hub was introduced to the oxy' acet' torch. Still wouldn't budge. We have a set of hydraulic pullers up there but someone borrowed them and not returned them yet. Went to retrieve them and no-one there. So home I came. With the trans back on the bench and hub cooled down, I decided to give it another go. Little by little it started to move. Took about half an hour but eventually the hub came off. I could then see why it was so difficult. The drive shaft was scored. I'm guessing some one had knocked the hub on with one of the securing screws, not quite clear of the shaft. All cleaned up now and the hub slides on nicely. I then tackled the remaining crud with scraper and wire brush. Just needs decreasing now. I need to get some primer before painting starts. I've also managed to get the roll pin out of the steering wheel and column. Been squirting it with penetrating fluid for the last few days. Now all I've got to do is get the wheel off the column.

"I need more room", he says. "I'll have to sell some stuff", he says.

Looks like a 1960/61 suburban , wrong bonnet and front axle for an RJ

Thanks again Chris. A good show. A few of my photo's. These next few where not part of the show but are based on the site. Finally, Calvin on Half a Horse giving Mr & Mrs Showman, Steve and Sue a Saturday evening ride around.

That does look a tad rotten.
