8 October 2016 - Front Driver side - suspension/brakes

I started taking apart the driver side suspension hardware. 

I removed the hub to get it ready to be turned.  I found out from the auto shop that I have to leave the bearing races in so the drum can be properly turned.

I didn't seperate the spindle from the upper and lower ball joints yet, but I was able to seperate the inner tie rod from the spindle.

As I take hardware apart, I will clean and paint it.  This is a slooow process but I don't have alot of garage space and so far its worked out pretty well.

Heres the driver side suspension before I get started...


Here is a pic of the coil spring sans coil spring cover
