Yeah the six million dollar man. I only remember one time they didn't slow down the film so we could see how fast he could acually run, and boy I'll tell ya he was flat out flying. And then Lindsay wagner showed up. I better be quiet, she might hear me.

vertekal, I have to admit, I wasn't at all a technical guy. But after the Torchmate showed up...... well, I'm getting there. I was totally lost on the cad stuff, but now the more I learn the more I want to learn.

Here we got the outer bearing off. Looks like there are shims behind the bearing. The rebuild kit does come with new shims, I'll measure the old shims and use new ones behind the new bearing and the same with the other side of the carrier.





If your anything like me, if there's a small clip or small spring involved, sure enough I'm gonna drop that son of a mother henner. I find it better to get a big piece of card board, disassemble pieces on it. It's easier to mark items where they are on cardboard also. One train of thought here, things that wear together, stay together.
