Still tackling the little but absolutely necessary jobs.
With the help of the HF press I removed the rear hubs from the old trailing arms.
As previously mentioned I have a nice new set to place the rear hubs in.
Hope to do that job in the coming days.
So here’s a few pics of progress...
The press, without this I can’t imagine the task!


Hi Dion ,great to see you are back on it,happy new year mate (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) .

Appreciate the positive vibes fellas! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

A debt of gratitude is due to Dave. His experience with this area and his skillset have
kept me on track with this project. Thanks buddy.
Nice pics too. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Cheers all.

Another miserable grey, wet, winter day in Pennsylvania. So today pressed in the wheel hub bearings for the rear trailing arms.
I’ll tell ya it’s a bit nerve wracking. The fear is not getting them in straight and then
have the expense of buying another bearing.
I followed PMBs’ video for this procedure. Thanks Eric!
Started with placing the bearing in the freezer. I then tapped it in the arm gently, just seating it. Next was onto the press. Made short work of situating that bearing in place. It did the trick.
The next challenge will be the other end of the trailing arm. Everything I have read says that’s the fun part. Woo hoo!
Stay tuned.

Nice job, Dion! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/thumb3d.gif) Nothing like shiny new parts!

Yeah, the trailing arm bushings can be a bear. Hopefully you have someone who can provide a third (or fourth) hand for that.

"Pressing business..." as they say! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif)

Nothing better than brand spankin' new stuff. Especially when it's you who did the work.
Looking really good.

And I can't wait to see that long repair. You're doing a great job all around! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif)

Metal master Dave stopped by on this Presidents’ Day to work his magic on my 914.
This longitude kickup is quite the challenge. I’d be totally lost without his expert help.
The amount of back and forth measurements and fitting, time consuming.
This is why restorations take a long time. Happy to report progress.
Somewhat re-arranged what was originally formed on the “buck”.
When placed in situ you really see what needs trimmed and stretched.
He did all the mental measuring and massaging with the grinder.
My task was removing most of the remnants of the jack point doughnut.
Lucky he has a keen eye. Found metal that i thought was part of the floor but was still
doughnut triangle metal.
So fitted up today. Welding to be done
soon. Happy this is almost completed then the outer long can be attached.
Moving toward that suspension console .....

Pic of floor clamped with firewall flange.
All this has to tie in.

Final orientation. Heater tube cut out will be done as well as some additional metal will be added for additional torsional rigidity.
