3 minute(s) of a 636 minute read

got around to re assembling the front trunion assemblies and installing them back on the car. everything went together nicely, and put a little bit of high temp brake grease on the components that have to swivel, rotate, or move. they look great and installed nicely. used all new hardware. used new springs from The Filling Station, they are NICE and tight !!  next will be to install the bearings and then the front hubs, and wheels. at that point i will be ready to reset the brakes. i will adjust all four corners to be safe. i have the tool to set them so that is a plus.
