Nicely done Martin! You have the wheel bearing coming up, I’ve just changed the disks on mine a learnt a couple of things doing it. The bolts on the hub turned out to be 1/2 inch, not 13mm, I realised after rounding one off. The 5 torx through the holes in the hub, hit torx bit with hammer first to seat well. To get hub out of strut, I wound a few 110mm bolts in from the rear to push it out, use high tensile bolt, I didn’t and snapped one. A better way might be to undo the torx bolts a few turns and then put a longer bolt in the 1/2 bolt hole and turn the hub so when you wind them in they push against the torx head behind. Once it starts moving the rest is easy. Hope that makes sense and helps 👍

Nice job Martin, that body work will take some work .

Another great video did well not breaking them door panel clips there shocking

A friend of my daughter locked the keys in her car a couple of years ago. I went to my local car service place (I'm a 20 year customer at the place) and borrowed their "burglary" tools and was able to break into the vehicle and pop the lock. Job done!. These tools are available for purchase by state licensed body and fender shops as well as repair facilities here. I wonder if Jimmy could get his hands on a set of these. They work well if you are patient and precise.

I always use the key fob normally but I couldn't use it as the battery was totally flat.

Iv gotta get the door part off mine - to see if i can fix ( may have to replace) the door handle - opens on occasions, unsure if there's just an adjusta on a cable ?? - least i know how to remove the part inside - thankyou

That was a fairly easy job and not too expensive. It looks like somebody has had the door panel off in the past. The plastic sheet which keeps water off the door panel has been slashed.

You might save a few Bob but the lock is outdated now. A rotalok would be a better replacement. Might cost more but you lose less in the event of a theft.

No! The Tibbe locks are useless as actual locks. Can be picked in under 30 seconds usually.

You may as well just have stuck a finger of fudge in the hole. Probably harder to steal with that in there. Hykee is the way to go.

Can't see the need for locking that rusty pile of shite.
