Attempt #2...

Started on the rear 5 lug conversion having to pull the hubs off of the donor car and swapping them with mine. At first I thought it was a very simple process of unbolting the wheel, the brake components and smacking the hub out. Well, from never have done it before, I was about 1 hour shy of thinking that. I looked at this damn thing for an a hour before I decided to drop the suspension to try and figure out why the hub wouldnt come out after unbolting it completely from the spindle. After I unbolted the lowering arms(?) I managed to smack the back of the bearing/hub with a hammer and it popped right out. Damn thing was rusted on there probably from being a car from up north. I couldnt pry the damn thing apart or break it loose from the front anyway I tried. Wish I would of known I was going to have to do this, mainly because working in 3pm 100% heat sucks, then working in 4pm rain sucks even more. Got the left side done, tommorrow the right...
