My last wheels came today, someday I will have a roller.

I just pulled the drivers side front suspension out from under a 48 year old Bugeye. Every bolt came right off and pins pushed out. Took about an hour all told. Hehe, no brakes on that side at all, heck spindle, bearings, and the swivel pin and bearing even look good. Shock absorber is junk, side to side slop.

And the second side came off just as easy, Whoot.

Now need to get a tie rod end remover, strange I don't have one but these seem to like there spot too well.

Cam bearing did not come today sigh and I will be right close to the machine shop tomorrow, guess I will have to make a special trip after all. IT IS HERE along with valve guides.

With front suspension off I now have lots of stuff to again restore and make like new, was getting a bit short of things to do here.

Next: rear end, may I be so lucky getting it out.
