DIY : New Bearing.

Since the weekend is coming, I have set a few plan for Bee. The old bearing had been making a lot of noise lately. So, it needs a replacement, and so thus the naked bodypart need to be covered back with the damaged fender.

I returned home after I finished my class and called Jaguh to come. And since Jaguh is handicapped (LOL!), he was only instructing me and help a lil bit. Talking bout doing it myself make me proud. Har har har. At least I learned about a few stuffs today. What's the point of having a toy car if you didnt try to fix it yourself?

So, lets remove the tyre first.

Remove the inner bolt and the hub.

And its time to remove the bearing. I thought there was only one bearing, and turn out there was 2 of em. Both need to be replace.

We went to the spare part shop and get the new bearings. And I bought a new third brake lamp too.

After everything had been assembled back, Jaguh was doing the wiring and me?

I was painting the inner fender area with antirust paint.

And assembling back the fender. Unfortunately, it does not fit well and you can see the gap. Morale of the story, dont roll you fender unless your car spareparts is plenty. As for me? Where can I find a new set of it? Argh.. Anyway, thanks to Jaguh Autoworks for supervising me today.

Story : Bee's Getting Better.

Honestly, kinda lazy to post the updates coz whenever I think bout Bee, I will become nuts for a while What is in my mind? There's a lot of rust on the floor, there's a hole on the firewall, there's a hole on the pillar, there's a leaking on the bonnet, my temp is not regular, my brake is worn, my headlight is dim, and so on.

Maybe I need to relax one whole day and clear my head. Bee should be grateful (and please cost me LESS trouble. Hahaha) coz I really do care bout her. Anyway, some stuffs that I did to ease the pain in my eyes and for her to serve me better.

No more rust on the fender. Was using EverCoat hard putty plus a lot of sanding job. And I sprayed it with yellow too but still look bad. Nevermind, just a temporary coz wide fender coming soon.

And, finally a new brake shoe for the drum brake. Hahaha. The old brake had already detached. Very dangerous. The job was done at Jeembo's Garage.

New shoe; in! Note that the previous owner had changed the PCD of the car. From 110 to 114.3. Thank you Mr. Previous Owner! Also, the stud was changed few months ago to fit in the new rim. And spacer coming soon.

Sicked Bee was looking at me with its sad face. Yes, dont be sad. You will be overhauled soon and a lot of metal surgery coming too.
