Havent had much solid interest since I advertised the crx, but ive been doing alot of small jobs in the meantime.

I fitted nearly new boot struts that actually work.
It was slow to start in the morning, so i first replaced the fuel filter. Old one was manky. I then noticed my o2 sensor wire had come away from its connector, so did a good job rewiring it up. Lastly, I decided to change out the auto-choke mechanism with one on my spare engine. The autochoke is a complicated bastard. It uses the coolant temp to operate a thermostat that pushes out a piston. This in turn gives the engine more revs. Once i fitted the replacement, everything is working smoothly again.
The last job to do now is to replace a rear wheel bearing. Ive just spent a few hours cross referencing the part numbers and finally found one. Im taking advantage of their free uk postage by using Parcel Motel for the first time.

Anyone got any tips on removing the old bearing, and fitting a new one (rear)?

Rear wheel bearing before is not a bad job, the inner bearing race can be a pain sometimes to work off if it stays on the spindle but patience is key.

This is back up for sale again in Sligo for €1200 pity it's lost its standard alloys but looks like it's still well minded. Bargain for someone seing are they are gone so hard got these days in original condition.
