I am replacing my 100A panel with a new 100A panel. The wiring is a mess an there are a lot of unused old wiring hanging out in thete. I pulled most of the unused stuff out recently and after a couple ceilings came down after the hurricane a wiring mess was expised. It's time to clean some of it up. The biggest problem is junction boxes all over the place and things that don't belong together on the same circuits.
The question is this, there is a panel just below the meter shown here:
I see the neutral bus bar is connected to ground, there is the ground going to a grounding rod and a ground wire going inside to the panel along with (2) 120v wires. My understaing is the inside panel should have the grounds and neutrals seperate but in the old panel they appear to be together. So can I put both on the same bars or no?
On a side note, the breaker on the right is new and it started coming out on it's own. Hard as hell to plug back in?
Old panel, the new panel has a main breaker:
