(post from Jack)
Lacey gave up the rear part of her exhaust pretty easy - but won't let go of her diff - and the front right diff mount is broken - that's the hardest one to see with the exhaust in place - and the break had been effectively hidden by a rather half-baked repair - which I will try to explain once i get the diff out. Right now the pin in the right front mount threatens to spin in place forever - and after wasting a lot of time with PB Blaster, Sili-Kroil and a torch, I wound up cutting all 8 bolts holding the axle flanges to the diff and tomorrow will probably cut 2 of the 4 bolts holding the driveshaft flange to the front of the diff.
You may have noticed I have loaned Lacey 4 other wheels to wear while I get the tires off her old ones - which I will then evaluate before I blast them.
watch for another update tomorrow.
Cheers,
Jack Mc
PS. Will Taylor (owner and co-driver of last year's One-Lap of America winning Nissan GTR) stopped by today, pointed to a part on the car and said "What's that - part of the brake bias system?" He'd never seen or heard of a lever-arm shock - geez... kids these days...
