Not alot has changed recently with the Rs, Just the usual fix one thing and 2 more things need fixing :lol:

First off i turned back time

Lately i have had brake fluid leaking from the passenger side rear drum. So the whole beam came off, ready for the XR2i one with a Anti roll bar

Old Beam removed...
I so badly want a rear disc conversion after all this poncing around with brake drums :lol:

One leaky brake cylinder. This bugger has ruined the matt black paint on the inner of my mondeo alloy wheel. So that needs repainting now.

My old XR2i rear beam - Used a wire brush drill attachment then it gave it a few coats of hammerite and then fitted a replacement bracket on the arb.

New top hats finally made it onto the car.

While the beam was off, i took the opportunity to remove the rear coilovers and try to raise them a little bit. Got them in a vice and still no joy in separating those 2 locking cogs.

These springs are really small compared to the std ones i have in my shed. May have to do a swap soon or get new coilovers... :rolleyes:

Lots of swear words took place in between doing all this and that's that. No I'm not ready for ford fair, the car ain't no where near ready and now i have a wheel bearing groaning from the front. :cry:

Do you still have the dampers off the car? I don't know what you've tried, but I'd be clamping the body right near the collars, then getting moderate heat onto the collars, nothing extreme at all, then get a drift and a hammer and tap one of the collars in the appropriate direction to separate them. If you have a friend with a drift, get him to tap in the opposite direction. I'm sure they'll come apart with two of you working at them.

by **knuckles** on Wed Aug 01, 2007 4:22 pm

They are back on the car at the mo. We cleaned up the threads with a wire brush, soaked them in Wd40 then got them in a vice. Only managed to free the bottom collar. The top one wouldn't budge so we stand defeated. :cry:

by **Brammer** on Wed Aug 01, 2007 6:57 pm

Nah messin clark i would have given up too

by **knuckles** on Thu Aug 02, 2007 5:44 pm

I got my new QH front wheel bearing today worked out to be £18.50 with vat. Ford wanted near £38.

Hopefully i can get it fitted tomorrow. Also to top it off the brake shoes in the passenger side drum have stuck on. So when i drive the drum gets Really hot...

If i can't get that sorted it won't be going ford fair Sunday :cry:
