no, there is no cabin filter on these cars.

These came today

I gave the UPS guy my steering rack core in return so it worked out very nicely.
I picked up my front sub frames from the powder coater and re-tapped the holes

I sandblasted a whole mess of parts yesterday and powder coated them today. There are about 15 pieces total. I still have to do the other control arm the knuckles and a few other things.

Any tips on separating this?

Heading back out in a few.. just took a break for pizza. I love days off!

Warm the socket up with a rose bud then spray some freeze in a can on the shaft?

**stealthee** · 03-22-2012, 06:38 PM

Put the shaft in a vise and beat the shit out of the axle piece. It will come out.

Nice. Something I'd like to do. Have a powdercoating gun but no idea how to use it, lol.
