Innovation

So when working on brakes, and axles in general you have to figure out how to turn nuts and bolts while the axles are freely spinning. It can be a little annoying.

So in this picture, you see my solution. A wooden plank with a 3/4 hole in it to attach to a hub. It hits the fender and stops the rotation. Very simple, and does the trick.

With that solution, I was able to make great strides in the tear down process. Almost done with the tear down, and getting excited about the rebuild.

The most exciting part was pulling the rear hubs. They came off with a large bang and flew across the floor. Glad I knew to stand off to the side.
