ahhh i see , now where would i find a hanger bearing !? LOL should i try the wreckers ?! oh and i meant in not in much good shape as in , it use to be a farm vehicle , might of been used near or on a beach so its pretty hammered i guess ?! so thats why i thought replacing it would be an option Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

new from repco bnt etc,tis just a bering and housing man,its not a biggie

Have you had it up on a hoist ? If it's been anywhere near the salt water I'd be worried VLs rust pretty good without the help of cowpoo or saltwater !!

yeah dude , ive seen it up on the hoist a couple of times , thats why i had to get a new exhaust , the last one had 3-4 holes in it and had back fired numerous times i guess LOL but its underneath aint to bad , nothing seems to be to bad with rust except for the boot that use to be orange. but thats sorta fixed for now. one thing that did stand out was the driveshaft and the diff , they just looked abused and old and the sway bars too. but yeah i dont know :S would need you guys to look at !!

you got in? i got a few ideas if you need help

yeah i got in . just at the cost of not being able to lock and unlock my car with the keys now i think the control rod for the key lock has been disconnected or something !? dont know till i can take off the trim Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

do you need to know how to take the door panel off?

yeahh , i was looking in this booklet i have , but no clue where to start and stuff cause ive never done it before

oh mate!!!

its easy as dude, take off the window winder handle (its held on by a circlip so you'll need a couple of flat bladed screwdrivers - one on each side - to flick it off). just be patient and gentle, otherwise you'll break the handle. then there's 2 screw holding the armrest on, take those out then swing the armrest around 90 degrees or so (I think) and it'll come out of the top (don't know how to explain it but you'll figure it out easy enough. and once it's out you'll see how to put it back in. then see that black trim thing around the lock? flick that from the top or the bottom (not from the side), again be very gentle. I think from memory the black panel (on the inside of the door where the mirror adjuster thingy is) has to come off, I think you just flick that off with a flat-blade screwdrive (just check tho, I can't remember if there's screws holding it, but i don't think there is). and then, working from the bottom of the door card, start pulling it away from the door (it's held on by those clip things that should just pop out). I would use my fingers for this (not a screwdriver coz you don't wanna scratch the paint). once those clips are all popped out, lift the panel straight up so that the top bit (which sits up agains the glass) lifts out. I think that's about it (I'm writing this from memory as I'm at work at the mo). So someone please correct me if I'm wrong. The main thing is to have patience, the VL's plastic is very brittle as I have found out a number of times Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Nice good work man. Pulling the interior apart looks hard at first (for me it did anyway coz I always seem to break stuff in the process), but I managed to pull my whole dash apart the other day (to put some new front speakers in and rip all my heater/fan/ducts out) without breaking anything (even the air vents - although I have broken 1 of the air vents before, trying to figure how to get them out. the thrills of working on a VL!

yep i have broken dashes before.but once you have done it once your right,best thing to do is buy a fcked car for a parts car

yehh thats what i was afriad of ! have to be real careful when i do these things ! stink thing is the doors munted from previous owner using some hacking device to make holes in for the speakers .. left jagged edges and stuff ! not good but hey you dont notice :P one day ill shave it down and make it look nice !
