axle stuck to transmission
I'd say your topic is the same one anyway, and it IS nice being able to
take a break from it. That job was my "first axle" quite a few years back,
and it is pretty tight in there IIRC. GL with it eh? We'll see what kind of
a mess I get into here, my "new car" decided yesterday that it won't go
more than 60mph, figured out the problem is a front brake that's working
overtime. So that leaves me with a choice of three A1s as my regular
drivers till I get that fixed. And I'm not too eager to do it, here's
hoping they don't leave me walking now that they're "in control".
