Iam going to have a great time trying to get this back together. My phone crapped out on me and I lost all the pictures I took of the vacuum and fuel lines
Thanks! Once this rain finally stops and I get my stuff together I'm going to probably work on the brakes. I think I have most of the parts I'll need for everything except the engine itself (complete FI, complete exhaust, complete engine tins, brakes, all vacuum lines, fuel pump, solenoid, etc.) While I had to stop working on the bus, I kept accumulating parts.
Question for you all since bentley only covers up through 1970 wheel bearings. What is the procedure for repacking or replacing the rear wheel bearings on a late Bay? You take the 46mm nut off and pull the hub but im insure of where to go from there...
Been there I have a 6ft extension for my 3/4 in breaker bar. Have had instances where that was not enough. Had to use torch.carefully. If you have access to a shop with a 3/4 or 1 in impact,you may want to take it there to break it loose. This is not uncommon. You may be the first person to try to get at the rear brakes since 1977. not
Labor day weekend I had to fight with a lug nut. I won but had to sacrifice a set of drill bits, 2 breaker bars, and a toothed extractor. Now I need a new stud pressed in.
Finished up the rear bearings and brakes this past weekend. Hopefully will be able to put my new CV joints on this week during my free evenings between classes, then over the weekend pull the gas tank and paint the engine bay. Any time left over will be spent on the front bearings and brakes.
usually the easiest way to disassemble the fan shroud-alternator assy is to just remove them together and leave the alternator attached to the fan shroud, that way you need not disturb the alternator boot, this advice may be too late to help you...
