I can’t quite believe it but due to the COVID thing, parts on back order and being busy at work it’s taken me 7 months to get the rear beam swop done!
I have noticed lately that the rear feels harsh and bouncy and I recon the bushes, bolts and rubber spring pads are knackered.
The beam itself as like the one I bought in April appears horrendously corroded but what looks like 100 year Titanic rust is mostly mud and is only on the surface.
As this place is an amazing source of information i was fully prepared for the usual problems.
The bush bolts were a sod to get undone,I had to cut the O/S bolt to get it out and a shortened new one was put back in after lower the fuel tank.
Braided lines clipped in and a couple of new hub nuts saw me done for today.
Brake bleed, wheels on, do up the big boy nuts and take her out for a blast tomorrow.
