Found out when trying to install the fuel lines that my firewall was missing one hole for the the return line, seems the guys doing the rust repair on the lower firewall took some liberties that I hadnt noticed till now. πŸ™

Put the rear bearings into the freezer overnight and then they only needed some gentle presuasion to pop into place in the rear swing arms.

Had to take the front suspentsion off and lower the steering gear and front crossmember again due to forgetting the steering axle top bushing that seals against the front firewall. Thank you for the helping pair of hands Jani. πŸ™‚

Found that my front bearing grease cups/dust caps were the wrong size to fit the hubs. Bugger!
