How hard is that to replace? I'm pretty sure I'll be needing all three bearings up front soon and lucky me I just found out that our stellar used car department gave me incorrect info on the warranty I got from them and I don't have any coverage left.
I also don't have a garage due to our recent move becuase it's full of junk
well steve, I just moved to north st. paul and some time this spring maybe you could come over on a saturday and we could take everything apart, then bring the parts up to tousley and press everything out. let me know if that works for you

You do know I'm going to give you a kiss at work tomorrow right
I'll let you know if the bearings get dramatically worse, I know they're going but I don't know how long they'll last.
I'm also going to have to do a clutch this spring but that I don't have any problem doing since it doesn't require a press, if I do it right I may do the clutch at the same time but I don't want to bother you with that much work.
