During todays work I needed an garagepress so I started with to build my own

I did take parts from an old nonworking garage jack

ready...with some Yamahablue colour

One spindle sandblasted and ready for some powder coat later on

Using my press to get out the old bussings

The old original bushings and the new one from Up Bushman

Ready for powder coating

 

[Chris600]

On my Phazer the bearings in the wheels in the skid is not exchangeable. So I will fix that problem

I will take away that plastic that holds the bearing

Then just to put the wheel in the press remove the bearing

Cleaned and greased bearings

Bearings ready to be used again

I machined 2,5mm to get some more negativ camber.

Ready

Tonight I did build a jigg so I could measure the angle of the frontsuspension.

Originalcaster 18gr

8mm shall I cut of the upper A-arm

Checking that everything is OK after cutting the a-arm

Here you could see how much the a-arm is moved. The emptyspace will be filled up with a bushing. If the change is no godd I could move the bushing to the other side and the original caster is back

The new caster is about 22gr

I think I also will change the bushings to oilite instead of the plastic ones

looking good i am in the middle of haveing my phazer all apart

 

[Chris600]

What material should I use to fill upp the space on the A-arm?
Should I go for som ekind of plastic, alu, or steel?

I will change to oilte bushings inside the a-arm but outside?

 

[T.S.U.Filmz]

Talk to ulmer see if he will make you oilte spacers for the back side of the bushing

I will check with him. I have emailed him if he shipps to Sweden...waiting for answer. Then if he do I can ask for 2 extra oilite bushing or atleast some material and then I can make them my self.
