Yea.... another $225 spent.

I now have new wheel bearings, new inner and outter seals, and new axle nuts. In a box.

I dropped the hubs, new bits, and some RedLine CV2 off at AIMS machine shop on Glendale. They're gonna press the new bearings into the hubs for me... hopefully by the end of today, but more likely they'll be done tomorrow morning sometime.

Also, because the right-front axle nut was so fused, I pulled that hub w/ the axle still attached, so they get the honor of torching that nut free for me.

I put a rediculous amount of torque on the nut (enough to bend my 1/2" socket wrench!) and it never budged. WTH did Indy Auto do when they reinstalled that thing!? Or perhaps, the baking it went through at RFR welded it on there.

Hopefully, the labor cost for all this won't be too much.
