I decided that this weekend was the 'get the rear suspension on' weekend.
I refurbed the rear spring that wasn't done by the PO.
Then foolishly thought I'd whip a poor looking bush out after work on friday and pop another back in. As ever this didn't go well taking 2 hours to get out
Fortunately the next morning went better and with a socket and big hammer the new bush went in reasonably ok.
Now I needed to move the Salisbury axle from the rear of the house to the front and fit it. I had formulated a plan during a sleepless night last week. The plan was to get the axle on the wheel dollys.
Then use the trolley jack to lift the big axle onto axle stands still on the dollys, roll under the LR and then fit the springs
It went pretty well
And then added a bit of paint
It took it out of the support team
It didn't all go well. To finish off I went to put the wheels on and discovered the wheel nuts I have are from the old axle and too small - ggggrrrrrrrr.
If I'm not too sore tomorrow I might try and fit the fuel tank.
