Ivan's coupe: seeing RED

[Ivan141]

I just took 2 axles apart in my basement, my axle finally came out with some heat and a hammer, we took apart NoHachi's celica axle as well. That last one was much more difficult due to rusted drum brakes, but the wheel bearings in it are maybe 1/3rd-1/4th of the size of ae86 bearings.

My r+p actually look pretty good considering the noise they made, I havent taken out the diff yet, but so far it seems re-usable (how I can tell for sure I dont know). Maybe it's a bearing problem.

NoHachi's rear axle is going to be a bigger problem since the pinion is stuck and there is some spots of rust on a couple of teeth (I think it can be ground of without problems though). That diff is going to need new bearings all around, the axle will need to be equiped with leaf spring brackets instead of the current 4-link setup. Maybe some disc brakes might be possible to fit as well. Doesnt look like ae86 stuff is going to work but who knows.
