The first task was to replace the u-joints in both axles. This is pretty straight forward. What is not clear is which way the axles go into the car. The axles can go with the larger end towards the tire or the larger end toward the tansaxle. We opted for the latter.
Rebuilding the rack was an all day job for me. I also wanted to clean up and paint the rack properly as well. I clear coated the aluminium shell that surrounds the rack. The bushing that was supplied by Hall Pantera was too large for the shaft that I had. I had to use emory cloth to reduce the inside diameter of the bushing to keep the rack from binding.
After both these tasks were accomplished we were back on the road. My wife and I went for a long trip around Scotts Valley. My wife fell in love with the car. She cannot resist the italian designed body.
