Finished wheel bearing and king pins tonight.

Needed new bottom pin because whoever worked on it last must have levered it off and had heavily scored the surface. That is why the hub had leaked water because the surfaces werent flush.

Anyway all done, new bolts, swivel seal etc.

Crushed a sill whilst removing the plastic panneling along one side of the car,
