re: #239 Decatur Deb
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.
I think the only thing that scares me anymore when it comes to mechanical is transmissions. I’ve also never worked on steering before, but that at least I can do with the car up on jackstands and a good manual. My complete lack of confidence in dropping and rebuilding a transmission is why I had to sell my truck (totally burned up 3rd gear and overdrive).
