More Wheels' problem T_T

Yesterday, after mango install his bucket sit in Chean's place Ah Xiang told me that i might had a problem with my rear wheel bearing. As i sat on the driver sit and start reversing the car, yes. It doesn't willingly to move. As it jerk a bit whenever i release the throttler. So i took it to my mech, Ah Choi, and had him took out the wheels bearing to check, and get mango's LSD a oil change.
As we take off the rim, and start to remove the brake hub, which would be fairly easy to take off, refuse to come out.... and after 30 minutes of struggling we decide to ply it out by all means...
And to my suprise, something fall off when the hub was finally coming out... *_* one piece of the brake shoe...
A big chunk of the brake material strip off the brake shoe. And we check the brake piston and it was leaking slightly as well. The brake fluid should be the culprid causing the problem. Which means a new brake pump and new brake shoe change is in order...
Then Ah Choi's worker take out his secret weapon~ to take out the axle shaft.
Axleshaft removed and inspecting the housing
The bearing feels tight and a bit cracky when rotating, best to change that as well ^_^
So i took the old sa
And get the new shinny parts~
Then to the foundry to cut out the old bearing and jack in the new bearing.
new bearing in place and ready to be installed
This is how an 'drift' (welded) axle oil would look like after just two trip to Kg Gajah and some occational fun around the neighbourhood. Just little under 1000KM of trip on ODO.
