On today's agenda was installing the front hubs, calipers, and rotors. On the first line item, Hubs, we had issues with sliding them on the spindles . The first couple times the hub would slide on maybe a millimeter and instantly bind up and then we would have to use a hammer to get it back off. We decided there had to be a smarter way of doing this, so after some thinking ( and calls to facotry five) We wrapped the spindles in ice packs and heated the hub with a torch unitl it was black. Then they slid on smooth as glass. It was truly an awesome example of scientific fact. Cold : Contracts, Hot: Expands. After our trip back to chemistry class the rotors and calipers went on without problems. Will post a pic tomm! Rear end comes in monday!
