Thought I'd better do an update as haven't done one for a while, been really busy just lately so it's taken a back seat but ford fair brought back the love for it and today iv fitted the rear brakes and started to strip down my subframe/ wishbones anyone know how to remove the small bushes on the wishbone ???

That is all !!!

Churtz

Both the bushes press out.... Unless you're talking about the actual ball joint??...

B19 JUB

nice looking project.will keep my eye on it

Straight_4_N/a

As said press them out, Push it out towards the wishbone its self but dont go to far or the bush will start bending the wishbone lol, just push it out 95% with a press and just pull it out by hand for the last 5%.
i damaged a wishbone by pushing out all the way with a press and had to get anther second hand one.

Straight_4_N/a

have you changed the brake cylinders yet? i not dont buy fiesta ones buy grannda ones there bigger and the same price.
fiesta are iirc 16.5mm
grannda are 19.5mm

so a little extra performance

not updated this thread for a while, been busy but today i had some time so made a start got my petrol tank out and started to prep it, also sorted my rear brake shoes but hit a problem cant fit the hub over the new shoes if that makes sense

gjh

Cant get the hub over the new shoes?? Do you mean the actual drum? What you done to the fuel tank?

bagginsRSturbo

iTrader: (1)

yeh cant get the drum on for some reason, just preping the fuel tank ready for paint

gjh

Ye can be a bit of a bastard to do, just give it a bloody good fiddle, and try and get the springs on the shoes moved back as much as possible (you probably already know this)
