Title: HR Front end Rebuild
Post by: earlyholdenfan on March 30, 2006, 05:32:08 AM
Hi All,
I am in the process of rebuilding a HR front end for the wagon, and was wondering if anyone has any tips or things to watch out for , I have cleaned and painted and replaced every moving part (and some that never used to move hehe) and time has come to start re-assembly, so any help would be appreciated, in particular, is it imperative to use the special tools and spacers for the control arm bushes during assembly etc?
Cheers
Matt  ???

I think Ken covered this elsewhere and from memory you only needed to use the spacers if the wishbones were new ???

Thanks for the reply SGO   ;D
I tried a search for any info but couldnt find anything on fitting them, so we will just have to see how we go!
Once again I appreciate for the reply!
Matt

I'll second SGO, I put my front-end back together without the "special" tools.

Thanks as well Stinky for your valued input! I have all the bits and will attempt to re-assemble it this weekend! the bushes are expensive and I have approached this tentatively, didnt want to ruin both ethe control arms and bushes, or worse make the front end unsafe. So your support has put my mind to rest
