Its as simple as that mate,but.....if theyre really feckered and old they will be absolute cnuts to get out,mine took many lbs of pressing on a hydraulic press,best thing is to get a local garage to sort them for you.

hopefully it will be the same for the fronts.

after 12hours hard at it and a £300 hole im my wallet, we have repainted the subframe, fitted a 3month rack with new gators and track rod ends. Got new lower ball joints and arb rubbers fitted, re routed a new front pas tube, with new o rings and added a R19 mount for luck :D

now waiting for the garage to finnish pressing a set of new bearings then the car should run again!

also have to fix lots of bulbs and finnish putting standard headlights on!

Wooooo!!!

till tomorrow.
