A few bits to remove

[gsx600]

Well over the next few months intend to actually do some work to the Wedge after nothing over the last 2 or so years as all time and money spent on house

So today intend to remove

RHS rear suspension, drive shaft, wheel bearings
Bonnet - to respray
RHS exhaust manifold - to weld in O2 sensor
Crank pulley - to attach trigger wheel to
Boot and boot spoiler - to respray
Front anti-roll bar
Steering / bulkhead bearing

Might start with the easy ones's first

But can anyone tell me if the rear hub nuts do up anti clockwise or clockwise and on which sides, as I seem to recall they are different on each side, but can't remember which way round it is

Also anyone know any part numbers / suppliers for the following
Rear wheel bearings
Front wheele bearings
poly or normal bushes for rear sus / front anti-roll bar

And yes all this is being done outside on a gravel parking spot with the car up against a hedge on the passenger side, so have to do drivers side, then turn car around and start again on passenger side

The rear nuts are normal right hand thread on both sides.
Front and rear bearings are Ganada Mk2 but you need an extra grease seal for the rear.
available from bearing factors or RT Racing

Poly bushes direct from Superflex or Spub - you will probably also need a bolt kit for the rear suspension which is also avail. from Spub (I think he does a combined bush and bolt kit at a very good price)

What is the benefit of a crank sensor?

It is the preferred way for an aftermarket engine management system to sense crank position.

Just been doing hub nuts for the bearings. They are the same on each side - the driveshafts are interchangeable. So - clockwise doing-upping.

Make sure the N/S hub nut is tightened up to correct torque, loctited, drilled and pinned, welded up and then check it every 10 miles!!!!!!!
(They can come undone!!)

[gsx600]

Well so much for starting with the easy bits !!

Went straight for the rear suspension instead. Drivers side is now off bar 1 bolt holding the frame to the chassis, nut is undone but bolt wont shift. Gonna have to remove the brake caliper and disk to offer it some persuasion

Looks loke its all been of before as all nuts were relativly easy to undo as covered in gopper grease.

Although can't actually split the drive shaft from the hub carrier, so need a vice and another hammer me thinks

Top shock mount was a pain, as took the nut off but would not release the shock. After half hour or so found another nut holding it on

Now need to decide what goodies to buy

SH suspension units
SH rear stay bars ?
replace uj's
wheel bearings
but not sure about bushes as all seem fairly firm so may have been done previously ?

Hi Paul

Sounds like you have a lot of work on your hands, i found the best way to access the top bolts for the rear shock was to make some access holes in the boot making it easy to remove.
If you speek to SteveH about the ujs he can source them and the suspention it top notch and the rear stay bars too.
Im on with a few winter upgrades my self.


Good luck and keep us posted

Paul - I can weld that in for you (free) unless your brother has welding equip.

Personally - I did the LH manifold as there is more room to mount the sensor vertically at the bottom of the collector. I can post a picture if it helps.

I also have some spare 6 hole pulley spacers... fitted mine on the rear of the crank socket. Can post pictures if needed.

[Campbell]

Rev, i think you have won with out doing any thing

But we will see

Might take you up on the welding when I get the bits off. Maybe also the spacers once I see what I need

Was only going to do the rhs as that's the side I can get to at the moment, will have a look at space next weekend hopefully, as still struggling with rear suspension removal

I used a 10 ton press for mine, and it was a doddle, so would imagine that a 6 ton press should be able to cope aswell

[TVRleigh_BBWR]

I've not had my 10 TON Pressed anything over 6 TON after 5 TON it gets very hard to move.

[adam quantrill]

Leigh - you're only little, mate! Use a bigger bar!

[gsx600]

thats settled then a 6 ton press on my chrissie list

Can they be used sideways ? As might try and use it to get the stubbon bolt of the A frame mounting by the exhaust

Why not cut the bolt off..
