New noise

[davidwinchell2 at sprynet.com (David L. Winchell, II)]

It can be done by the do it yourselfer if you have the nifty TT tool or
a press.  I purchased the tool from Peter and have used it a few times.
One change on your own will more than pay for having a shop do it. The
hard part is backing the inner race off of the hub.  I used a grinder
and have spoken with others that recommend using the air hammer / chisel
to get it to come off the hub. 

G/L and get video for us if you do it yourself..  ;)

What's that run to fix at a shop?  Can I do it myself? (Or at least with
assistance from a lister?)
