Sorry I missed the B-day gifts!

Here's mine:










Dont know how much longer they were going to last!!


In in for dyno Friday before, sounds like fun! Hopefully break 600 on that dyno!

 

And I think the Jetta faired pretty well for box truck at highway speeds!! Driver and front passenger looked like they were in great shape!

Hate to say it but the Dodge hasn't been started in over a week now! (Mainly because it needs somebody to fill the tank! )

 

That's scary! Looks like a really good present to me.

Hmmmm....I may bring the Starcraft camper.............with a "For Sale" sign on it.

 

Wow Brian - haven't seen one of those random-angle roller bearings for a while... I heard they run smoother with a high-tack lube!

 

WOW is right. Scary!

Dan, Did Kerri say it was making a bit of noise when she shut it down. Would bet it could be heard a ways away!

Brian, How bad was the nut? Need help?

RJ

 

I needed a big pry bar to put between the lugs to even turn that thing! It was locked down!

THe nut wasn't too bad to take off... I was sick of those **** thru hub wheel caps by the end of the project though..
1. Break lug nuts
2. jack up truck
3. remove lug nuts and wheel
4. remove center cap
5. Reinstall wheel
6. tighten a few lug nuts
7. place truck on ground
8. bounce on end of 6' pipe until nut breaks loose (curse when pipe hits ground and smashes finger! )
9. Jack truck back up
10., remove wheel all over again
11. finally get to work on bearing!!!!
12. Repeat 10-1! Stupid thru caps! lol All Ryans fault too!

Kerri said it was making a good bit of noise and getting harder to steer... Ya I bet... It took a few tries (on separate days) to get the truck straight in a parking spot cause the power steering wasn't strong enough to overcome the drag of the bum wheel!! Ya that could have been bad!

I was impressed at the impressive pile of molten metal shavings that collected on the knuckle!! Wish I would have snapped a pic of those!! It was a good sized clump!

 

That's OK. My b-day is in July, you can give me the same thing

~Rob

 

Hmmm it was like low 70s that day, doubt I would have the same work environment in July!!

 

I replaced both wheel bearing assemblys 15,000 miles ago and am again getting an rpm rubbing noise from the drivers side on sharp right hand turns??

Can you think of anything else that would sound like that, cause I can't??

 

Tire rub? Look for buffing on your inner fender wheel well....

WOW....That is a bad bearing.......i might be doing my other side here in a few months just for S&G's.


Again...thanks for the help Brian!

 

I have to change my left front hub bearing. I was going to have a place in town do it but the wanted like a little over $400 to do it!
