its hard to find good rims for marks, i mean besides the cobra replicas, fr 500's or the speedstars, theres not much to choose from because of the 5x4.25 bolt pattern :( i got a base 95, how do you do a hub swap to a mustang hub? then i'd be able to order rims off americanmuscle, they got a million rims lol. i know alot of people have done this, can anyone post up a write/build up link of this being done on a gen1, necessary hardware needed, tools etc. thanks

The hardest part will be removing the rear hub since you have to press it out. I put up a thread last year showing some pics on how to do it on either a shop press or with a large 3-jay puller. You might as well replace the rear bearings at the same time.

LOL! Is that when you use 3 of me to do the job?

Yeah, I am pretty awesome, I can see why you'd want 3 of me, but you really only need one. I only used one of me to do it....and a 2-jaw puller.

I used the puller to pull the hubs, press out the bearings, AND press in the bearings...
