I'm currently working on a Cobra kit w/ and E type rear suspension. One of the rear wheel bearing is bad. Anything I need to know about changing one of these out?

Dad, Doc, anybody?

BIG press with arm out of the car. NOW is the time to address rotors and calipers. What year and series E? And are you sure it's an E?

Contemporary kit and from what I remember about them, yes, E type. I was doing calipers when I found the bearing. Ex-flood car that owner had the calipers done, then installed, bled line up to them then left lines open for a year. Not near as bad as I thought they'd be.

Yup, a BIG press. Be prepared to hear the "shotgun" noise when it lets go, too. :wink:
