    Where to get CARC

    that sounds about right. In the 2 years I spent painting my truck and trailer, the price rose from $71 to $96 so I'm not surprised it's almost $100 a gallon.

    A poor experience, and my lessons learned

    I use a plastic bottle from those clean wipes. I cut a hole at the rim for one end of a bungie cord. The other end of the bungie catches the bolt/bracket at the heat shield. No water, no issues if left on, never blown off...yet.

    Score: Tree stump (1), mule (0)

    Update OK, I got that $%#@ needle bearing out and the axle seal. Lucky for me the new seal was rubber encapsolated so it sealed the damage I did to the housing trying to get the other out. I cleaned re-assembled the drop housing the the axle housing today. It slid together very nicely. I...

    Score: Tree stump (1), mule (0)

    Well, the cold chisel didn't do it but a die grinder did. I was super careful to just cut thru the bearing race. There is an axle seal down inside as well. be careful not to hit the housing...like it didaua

    springer seat base/fuel selector

    I found mine was very close to the switch as well. Really, the plate that marks L and R is the only hickup. It's a tight fit but my springer seat and the fuel selector switch work together just fine.

    Deuce brakes

    do a search for "power bleeder". Several members built a power bleeder out of a garden sprayer. I copied it and it worked great. The reason I recommend this is because it took quite a bit of fluid to get the rest of the air out of my brake lines. I had the same problem and it was taking...
