I know you're "supposed" to press the arm into the bearing (not the bearing into the arm), but I don't have any fancy bearing tools/jigs and could never really get that to work.

With a hacked together wooden control arm support though, the bearing still presses in pretty easily (IMO). Just start it with a rubber mallet, and then make sure you press everything in while the bearing is level (see red level on top).

I'm not sure why I'm so anal retentive about restoring and cleaning everything while assembling things, and then proceed to actually drive it. Everything is so much dirtier and just worn looking than it was just 5k miles ago. Oh well - I suppose I can just put on more miles now. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)

Love that car! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wub.gif) Oh, so the orange Six does not feel left out, if I had another Six it would be flared and signal orange like my 1st Six was - color not flares.

I have to meet Steve one of these days because that is the same lift set-up that is going in my garage too. Maybe instead of being a twin I was a triplet and Steve was separated from us????

CDI box died on the way home from Oregon. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) That was less fun.

When it died, the CDI was still making a whining noise (it's supposed to), but it was a little different and louder. But given I had confirmed everything else seemed fine, I ordered a replacement and it worked. Vrooom.

PartsKlassik puts new electronics in the old box:

No, new CDI is dead silent. I honestly don't miss the whine.

Here is my favorite photo from the WCR that someone took of me (sorry, I forgot your name!). This is what happens with stock rear springs (100#)!
