Re: 2013 Proving Grounds

Whew, almost got sidelined doing a stupid front wheel bearing. Of course it's a press-in, so I had to take off the hub to bring it somewhere it get it pressed. To get the hub off, I destroyed the ball joint and the tie rod end. Then to get the new ball joint pressed in, I needed to take off the lower control arm. After 2 hours of f@#$%^& around, I got it all off and over to the local repair shop. Geez, I did both my wife's front wheel bearings in an hour flat. What a pain in the ass. One of these days I'm going to sell this POS and buy a C7 Vette.
