Double check the stub axles for bolts. Get new carrier bearings and stub seals. It's best if you get the bearings pressed on to save on time. The shop that I used to use closed up because the owner past away. I used to be able to just walk in with small stuff. Now I have to wait anywhere from a couple of days to a month.

All done, and yeah as JCHammond said, simple process. Doctor was pleased with his work, said it was perfect and went very smoothly. My bone was still dense enough that he was able to leave the stud exposed so the next step is the addition of the crown.

Now I just have to remind myself not to chew on that side today (or at all this week).

Unsure about the OS-Giken unit; but the Wavetrac has 2-flats on both ends of it...about 14mm thick.
Can’t remember the size/ as i would buy an inexpensive wrench & grind it down thin to fit. Would make easier to hold while torquing ring gear bolts

I would kind of like to see Chris's response to Russ if he did that!

Got the camera yesterday. Susan thinks I should do smash burgers first to put online. Recommendations?

Episode 12 of Dao-Yin Qigong is my favorite.

Flexible enough to be your own chrome off the trailer hitch.

Its “translucent red” theres a couple different color options and finish options too. Looks great in person too.

So doesn't look like Blizzaks come in my size (base wheels). Do you guys have any suggestions or personal preference when it comes to winters or good all seasons? I run Michelin 4S until the weather gets really sh*tty (like how its starting to be now here in Oregon).

madwi · 12-03-2019, 05:57 PM

I wanna say the Michelin a/s 3 was a favorite all season but I'm not 100% certain that was it. Blizzaks might be overkill for your area, do you guys get a lot of snow?

That's what I was also wondering if it was too overkill. We get snow maybe once a year but when it comes down, it really comes down. Mainly a lot of rain and cold but not much snow.
