Caesar the 1275 E - Diary of minor changes

[Vinay-RS]

Side shafts arrived yesterday and on my way home I went past a Midas store and bought some paint, Prepsol, copper compound and rust remover. Got some paint brushes too. I decided to crack on and get everything cleaned up. First up, I fitted the new flanges onto the brakes:


Next I took apart the stock drive shafts and the GTS ones and gave everything a thorough clean.


Here's a side by side picture showing the difference in thickness between the original shafts and the GTS ones.


And then I got it all put back together. I couldn't finish assembling them yesterday evening, as the one CV joint still has the old bearing stuck on it. I am going to borrow a bearing puller to get that off the joint.
