    type of grease seems to make more of a difference than brand of bearing.
    proper set up of bearing seems to make more of a diff than type of grease.
    Correct seals seem to make more of a diff than bearing set up.
    using proper tools seems to make more of a diff than brand of bearing..

    ^I heard PAM works too, anyway, I've decided I need to un stick my ebrake, it's always been a little sticky, but our recent cold weather has made it so I am laughed at as my car squeals through the school parking lot, SO I found the thread explaining what siezes, I pulled the rear wheel today and have found that it is definetly very stuck on the bit inside the drum, I will check with the school shop tomorrow to see if I can leave it there overnight while I got some PB blaster working on it. I will probably do the rear bearings while I have the drum off, and probs new shoes too. Any recomendations on the brakes or bearings as far as brands?
    Also, the Timken's listed on Rock auto, do they include everything I need, or do I need to get races too or something like that?

    I got a gas door. It's inside the car with the grill and valve cover that got painted also. It's alot more metallic than I expected. Just have to do the black around the windows then I can put the motor back in!

    Paul, let the air out of the tires. Then take a stack of business cards and stick them into the wheel between the rim and tire all the way around. Waa laa no more overspray!
    Eurotiva showed me this when I still had steel wheels.

I fully expect my LONG time friend and new owner to join up.
    Oh yeah! Gonna be an exciting weekend!

    Today at lunch I got about 1/2 way through with the rear brakes on Danny's car, driver side adjuster was stuck so had a fun time getting the drum off :lol: Its all good now though, just gotta finish it up tomorrow and then install the ECU
