Rear hubs ...Steering Rack for Ford Ka ! ....HELP..
Seems ages since I've had the time to get on with the Sammio. Part of the problem was my daughter in law's Ford Ka !! apparently a built in problem .. the steering rack leaks like a sieve and needed replacing. Dad knows about cars .... why not ask him to do it !!. Yes well ... a bit modern for my liking and replacing the steering rack is a job I would not thrust onto my worst enemy. All done now and getting back to proper cars. Chassis getting painted with a few coats of Hammerite and "starting" to put a few bits back together.
I've decided to replace the rear wheel bearings whilst the thing is in pieces but hit a BIG snag with getting the hubs off. All the research says that this is virtually impossible without a CHURCHILL Hub Puller ... and I tend to believe it. Any of you guys/gals attempted the job? Anyone got a puller I could borrow/hire/ buy a beer for? I live in the Haslemere GU27 area.
Promise some more pictures WHEN I have something positive to show you.
Cheers
Slarti
