re: #233 Fat Bastard Vegetarian

I can knock off a brake job in an hour. Never done a wheel bearing. The part’s 225.00 labor is 100… think it’s worth a hundred bucks to make sure that my wheel doesn’t fall off later.

Mechanic cross threaded my lugs the other day, they had to torque them off… I saw them using a crowbar to get the wheel off.

Wonder if they broke my wheel bearing.

Nothing to the bearings, just messy. I got into all of this exactly because a national repair shop left my lugnuts thumb-tight decades ago. It’s just self-defense to learn how to do crash-critical work if possible.
