I'm a little bit scared lol. Split the rear ported housing and waste gate off to be attached to the second hand turbo from Athol park wreckers when it turns up this week. Didn't have time or money to go get retuned for billet wheel CHRA or better turbo. & Garret cores had a 1month back order from all suppliers that I called so second hand unit it was. Finally completely finished the air system with train horn and bagged trailer, all controlled in the cabin. Then started to pull apart rear passenger wheel assembly as those bearings are sh*te as well. I've got it to this stage but I'm stumped as to what to do now. Ordered wheel bearing & hub assembly which also turns up this week. Any help guys? Or should I just take the whole axle into the mechanic to do the rest? Also played with new foam gun & SuperSyrup car wash. Good Aussie product! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same goes with the bearing. The bearing carrier will chisel off then you will have to do the same cut with a die grinder to remove the last of the bearing case. Then just press the new stuff on. Don't use sh*tty bearings. Genuine or Timken work wellAlso you say you ordered a hub assembly?? I'm assuming this is for the front? If not the Ute's don't have a separate hub it's all one big peice mate 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I'm stuck because I need a circlip plier to get the backing plate off of the junk CHRA. The CHRA that I bought for the previous time I did this must have come with a backing plate as I don't have a circlip plier This makes me feel really funny inside.
