Ok I done this a few times so, it should be easy I have all the tools an expertise.
Started on the front right, the brake lines are not attached correctly also the look bad, need to put steel braided lines on. This went really smoth less than 30 minutes one done. Go to the other side, drop down the strut is time to remove strut bearing.
Omg as I take the rubber cap off I can see the horror, someone butcher the top of the strut. I mean they actually cracked the top, where allen wrench is suppose to go in. See you put a allen wrench in and with a wrench you loosen the locknut off. I had to slowly cut off the नुत, to remove the strut(which ruins) the strut. But there is no other way, since you can`t really hold it down to loosen it. At least I had a spare bilstein, so I put that one on.
Now I notice that the hub seems a little loose, I figured that the castle nut is loose. Another surprise I remove the dust cap and it has two castle nuts but no cotter pin, which is what actually keeps the nut from comming off. I remove one and went looking for the problem and I found it, the bearing was stock on the spindle, got it off by the way a dremmel is your best friend. Put a spare one on, attached the brake lines correctly.
Bam my 1 hour job was finished in three hours, because I had the tools and spare parts on hand.
Tomorrow tha back end goes down.
