Well, I suffered 'while you're in there' syndrome... I discovered that all of my cooling system hoses, couplings, and tubes were rusted so I removed them but in doing so I decided to remove practically everything except the steering unit. This is the price you pay for enjoying drifting in the snow! It was worth it! I then discovered Dry Ice Blasting so all of the re-usable components were blasted clean. Next, I painted everything with a under body paint. (masked off all of the mating surfaces). The bearing pressed in easily as I heated the wheel housing to 100C and froze the bearing over night. So now I'm off to put things back together! The only challenge was figuring out how to align the cross-over tubes which have to be inserted after the cross member/steering gear are in place... My rear struts (the reason for all of this) are still on back order... I also discovered that I need B8's to match the lower spring height of the i030 suspension setup... I discovered this when the spring was loose during a test fit. Anyway, B6 vs. B8: B6 is for normal suspension, normal spring height, B8 is for lower spring height, Damping is the same, B8's have the proper spring pre-tension. Oh well... B6's are on ebay.
