VICTORY IS MINE!! Mike 1: Bearing 0

[jdbubb at verizon.net (Dan Bubb)]

It was the on the car tool.
On a completely different note, Mike totally destroyed a new tee shirt and 
pair of shorts doing this job.
Don't know what he was thinking wearing new stuff..
So, I imagine his sense of victory was short lived when his wife (who bought 
the clothes) ripped him a new asshole upon his arrival at home ;^)

just making sure the abuse in the MD/DC/VA area is evenly spread.

   congratulations. nothing better than hearing...nothing when driving
down the road. i'm curious, was this and on-the-car or off-the-car tool?
i bought an on-the-car one from harbor freight for $8X dollars after
being told it would be $20 per hub IF i were to remove it from the car
and take it somewhere. i had to do four so, you do the math. only thing
i had to get that didn't come with the kit were bolts for the hubs for
removal, but those were taken care of with a couple mkiv sub-frame
bolts. and, i agree, it is nice to do something other than oil changes
for a while.
