I have no problems with springs, springs have a problem with me, they tend to jump away from me as far as possible and hide.

Make sure you get 95lbs ft on the hub bearing bolts. Most just yuck it up then back off a frac till it spins free, but they forget about the heat generated, metal expands .. .. a lot when it comes to bearings.

O)k... I did it.

I started at 12:30 to get my first wheel of..
Around 17:00 I finished my first wheel
And around 18:00 the second wheel

Holy @%^^@%@^3@$ what a crap job to find out how to do it.
But as soon as you figured out a smart way to do it its easy.

I did not manage to get the wheelhub of.
First the lower bolts of the hub and bearing where unreachable by my tools and I had to by shorter tools to get to the bolts, then the hub appeared to be welded.. I struggled for 2 hours but didnt get it off.
So I gave up on that.
Then I wounded myself with a jumping spring and struggled to get the new shoes on and attach the springs at the same time..
Until I found a smart trick to attach the shoes with only the back spring mounted using a small crowbar and attaching the lower spring and the frontside spring afterwards.

The second wheel only took me 1 hour.

What - a -**** - ty - job
