An article explains methods to free clogged bearings in older cars using heat from a blow torch, then a grease gun, or by lifting weight with a jack.

It retains four wheel brakes and safety focus, citing Sydney to Wellington and Sydney to Congo journeys as proof of performance and braking capability. Local dealer Mr Howland will provide full details.
