Doc's KE20: - really coming together now

[Ivan141]

Ah.. a familiar sight. I'd forgotten how badly that wheel was battered to death by mux, but you only need 2 anyway so you're in luck with that.

damn, that beat up wheel looks just scary in daylight!

Did you use a jackhammer to get it off?

well, today i swapped the front struts with new brakes and stuff.
Pics will come later, when D.Wars uploads them.

I must say: BIG thanks to Damir, Ivan, Dennis and Rico (not on this forum). Without them, it would've never happend i guess

Now it's time to finish up some small things, something is scratching the disk when braking, and they feel a bit soft by now, need to re-bleed i think.
But everything fitted very well, so it's a straight swap

Doc, if the noise is coming from the left front caliper then have a good look at the anti squeel shims, the outside pad went in with some difficulty.

It's a good thing I'm used to working with seized up old crap these days, cause there was plenty of it on both your and NoHachi's cars.

This afternoon Doc and I are going to re-bleed again.
It was quite a day yesterday. But I did enjoyed it!
Thomas is uploading the pictures as we speak, i think.

Everyone big thanks for the help (with the precision tools also )

it think it's the bolt causing the problem, i didn't fit some washers behind the callipermountbolts

[The Doctor]

at first, we started with a starlet, it needed some new shocks







This guy would let me use his shed with a bridge in it and powertools.
Very nice guy!

Then it was time for me

Getting rid of the old shit:



When i got the strut away, i 'only' needed to remove the steering arms, which wouldn't get out of their position. At that time Ivan and Damir arrived, and they solved the problem (after a long time bashing on the bolts/steering arm etc. etc.) with a 'dutch screwdriver'



3 hours after i started, the AE struts where finally on:



installing the brake bits on 2 sides:



Spot the difference




'new' wheels (4x114,3 ) on the car:



Checking:



Looks nice, doesn't it?



Ready!




Then it was time to move on to Damir's KE25, he needed an other driveshaft (according to the MOT-man....., it was in perfect shape) and a new exhaust.

The exhaust was quite hard to install, almost NO space to reach the nuts and bolts





After all, it was a day (started around 10 am, finished around 9 pm ) of things which went well, broken bolts and reluctant old Toyota shit

Good job!
So when are mux's wolfrace rims going to be mounted?
