So two days of coke, and a patented plastic lever has seen the impeller removed. Just about to drive out the shaft and bearing from the rear, as per the instructions

Phew! That was a bit scary.

Its all come apart, but the amount of hammering effort (with leather hammer) to get shaft and bearings out was, well, scary.

Bearings seem ok, but if they are not hugely expensive it'll have to be worth replacing

I have taken photos of all the pieces in situ to guide replacement

But these instructions were great

Hi Dave

Hope all is well

I have identified something interesting. One of the brass washers has a foreign extra curved (for the bearings) washer. According to the drawing it should not be there. Issue is should I remove it, or put it back? Ummm

Is it possible that this is a cover that was part of the bearing?

I suppose I'll know once I get new bearings. My Brother thinks its part of the bearing, but the other bearing doesnt have it. Interesting.

Some more progress.

£10 hub puller meets angle grinder = hubs off, yippie! I just had to open the slots at the end.

I hope its not a dreadful sin, but I have bling-ed up the exhaust manifold

Any views on the length of our wiper arms. 10 inch blades are too big and hit the top. 9inch blades are now fitted, but they look too high to me, so this means the arms are too long, no? They are 270mm total length. (I have been polishing the windscreen because of some scoring the degraded blades made)

Subtle bling is good ....

Was the car last on the road in 2001 ?

Yes, at that point I was in living Australia buying my Fulvia, and the car was on its way to Tucson, AZ for what turned out to be a long rust free rest at my Brother's. Crazy really, but when my Brother returned 2018 we had to make a decision. We should have sold it there (the body is not and has never really been economically restorable) but sentiment is a strange thing. The 'Egg', as it is known in the family, has been with us since 1987, was my wedding car, the car and I spent a year in Berlin and Nuremberg, and I couldn't face giving it up, so I shipped it back. The plan is to get it on the road, and improve the mechanics, and then think about getting a better body at some point.

Here is a photo of the Aurelia rear brake rod retainer referred plate to a week or two ago. How on earth these get broken I do not know.

you are putting quite a strain on the drum if its sticky - there is a hub tool which screws into the thread for the grease cap which wont distort anything.

No answers yet on your wipers. I had a look at some pictures and wondered if the arms are correct but the blade carriers wrong. They seem to have an off centre attachment point. I think the ones in the attached picture give an idea of what I mean. Anyway, referencing the way they lie when parked against the position of the bonnet centre strip and the position of the washer nozzles may be of some help.
