Rear axle overhaul (Left side) #2

I started the disassembly of the left side rear axle shaft and the removal of the hub bearing.
When I did it for the right side rear axle, I struggled to remove the hub bearing for 2-3 weeks.  However, I believed I could do it easily thanks to my experience for the right side.

I removed the retainer nut at first.  It was sticking a little bit, but it could be removed by hitting with the screw driver and the hammer. 


Next was the removal of the parking brake shoes.  It was because there was no space to set the puller on the hub bearing unless removing the parking brake shoes.

This was the hub bearing that was my rival.  It was fixed very tightly.
Because the parking brake shoes were removed, the space for setting the puller on the bearing was secured.


I sprayed the rust penetration lubrication on the hub bearing, and set the “Super Special Long Arm Bearing Puller” that was my lethal weapon to remove the hub bearing on right side.


I believed my SSLABP would work well and could remove the hub bearing easily on this time.

I tightened the SSLABP strongly, then …

The stubborn hub bearing was removed finally.


The disassembly of the left side rear axle shaft and the hub bearing was done.



The coffee after successful work was very tasty. ☺︎

Clutch master cylinder overhaul #3

I was still struggling with the sticking piston of the clutch master cylinder. I thought I should give up and look for the new part for the replacement.  And to for my curiosity , I started to destroy and disassemble the clutch master cylinder piston by drilling. When I was drilling the piston halfway , I didn ’ t have any specific idea , however , I thought to tap the piston to make the thread.  I started to turn the tap handle , and I felt the feeling that the piston was moved.  So , I tried to pull it , and then suddenly the piston was removed from the cylinder. Finally I could extract the rusty piston! I observed the extracted piston.  It looked there was no risk of the leakage of the fluid because the hole I made in the piston was not penetrated.  Thinking the function that this part only holding the rod connected with the clutch pedal , it could be reused if the hole would be filled by the hard material. However , before repairing the holed

Clutch master cylinder overhaul #4

The overhaul of the clutch master cylinder , which I succeeded in the removal and repair of the piston with solder ( probably ), has been still continuing.  The master cylinder was disassembled and all parts were cleaned.  The condition of each part was not bad. In the last week the cylinder and rod were painted. Assembly started.  I checked the condition of the rubber parts originally used comparing with ones of the repair kit.  And I decided to use the original ones because the rubber was not deteriorated yet and the quality looked better than the repair kit ’ s one. Always the assembly is fast although I always struggled with the disassembly. Before After The overhauled master cylinder could be operated smoothly.  And I believe the appearance also became cleaner. ( My original blog was written on 26th Jul. 2009 )
