Front Suspension Assembly Pt 2

Now that the brake calipers where off the brake rotors where next to come off, dealing with rust was a huge challenge as the dust would come off and land every place imaginable



















Images of the rusted brake rotors.

This part was easy once the brake pad assemblies where off. That silver thing you see on the end needed to come off, this was fairly easy with a chisel and hammer they just pop right off to expose the bearing and a separate metal plate with everything coated in a thick grease. Once those where off,  the rotor and everything else slid right off.

The next thing to continue working on is removing the shock absorber and suspension spring, the shock absorbers where easy to remove, but our next challenge are the springs, which are under compression and dangerous to remove without a machine to compress them while me and Riley remove the bolts that keep the springs compressed. In the next update we hope to have the springs off and everything dissembled.
