Are you having trouble trying to fit the hub assembly back onto the vehicle?

if so try pyring the upper control arm with a tyre lever. you can then lever the arm up high enough to get the hub in and both abll joints into place.

Being a Hydro Car, you might need to jack up the rear as well so it's not pushing down on the fronts :wink:

Once the whole side is jacked up, if you still cannot get it in, pack the upper arm up on a length of hardwood, and then lower your jack a little.
