Hub Carrier Preparation

After a battle getting the hub carriers off the car, and subsequently getting the knackered bushes out of them, I set about a bit of renovation to make them look half decent. Thanks to Harbour Road Garage in Portishead for removing the rear carrier bearings. I'll be going back to get the new ones pressed in.

The general state of them was rough but serviceable. I set about them with a wire wheel attachment on my angle grinder and it made short work of all the loose and ingrained surface corrosion. I then used Ronseal rust converter followed by some black hammerite. Was quite pleased with the finish, but not sure how long it will last once they're on the car.

For the rear hubs, I cleaned up, etch primed and sprayed with satin black. For the front hubs I expect I will buy new aftermarket ones as they tend to come assembled with the bearings.
