The engine work we were doing got to a point where it didn't make sense to have 3 different people working on it all at once. So me and Adam decided to switch to a new job and let Jakob take on the engine for himself. Me and Adam started work on the front suspension assembly.
The front assembly came off in one big piece. It still had some of the steering linkages attached to it when it was removed from the body of the car, so the first thing we did was remove those attached links. The bolts of those links were extremely rusted being that they are very exposed to weather and also on the bottom of the car. They were a struggle to get off.
Once we got the steering linkages off we started working on removing the break callipers. The break callipers were attached to the main hub by two large bolts, which were also very hard to get off because of rust. The left brake pictured above was the brake that me and my dad had to drill the pads out of because they were seized. Unfortunately when we were trying to remove the brake line bolts that connect the lines to the callipers, it snapped the brake line right where it attached to the calliper. So we will have to find a way to get the rest of the bolt out of the calliper.
Pictured above are the two brake callipers and the steering linkages
