The axles are at the machinist's this morning having new bearings pressed on. So I wait. In the meantime, here are some pictures of the carnage to entertain you. In appreciation for all your help..

Here is taking the old rear end out...



Indexed the tube with those paint stripes and cut with an angle grinder..



Pulled the axles out and lifting the pumpkin off the useless old housing..



My 6 year old son Simon likes to keep me company in the garage. Doing online homework even. Now that's a great boy!


Picked up the new housing with axle shafts and brake plate. Sandblasted, and here it's getting hi-build primer I had left on the shelf..


Rattle can black enamel is next..


Putting the old pumpkin back in..
