That's about 25 miles straight west of me

Well I ain't messing with the ones on the hood hinges, they're getting done with the springs as I don't know how id remove them without getting hurt

Yup a lot of them take the same bearings. I've rebuilt several of them, never had to replace a ring and pinion though. I just save any and all shims that were in it originally and put them back as they were

Yeah it sounded crazy high to me too. $380 seems a bit high even but I haven't priced powdercoat work lately either. I was thinking $250 ish for what I have, less if I don't have the multiples done. I talked to my son since he did powder coating as a job for a while. The place he worked has a...

Among my pile so far to coat, are a couple of hood latches. They have some small springs in them. Will they be alright with the heat or do I need to try to take them out?

I did buy the stuff for diy just got today

Not the same thing as I meant. With what I suggested has nothing to do with elimination of c clips.

I've used many "axle repair bearings" before, it's a unitized bearing and seal whose bearings ride on a different part of the axle. Don't know if they make them for an 8.8 but I know across all the brands ( 1/2 ton truck and lower, cars included in that). There's only a few bearing and seal...

I get down close to your area a few times a year. Usually parked county... Turkey run, raccoon lake, Rockville area. Usually we get to Brazil during covered bridge fest. And what's the town just north of you just off of 41? We camp down there 3-4 times a year

Story of my life When I wanted 198 rods I couldn't find them for anything. Similarly when I had my 4.0 jeeps and wanted a 258 crank to build a stroker for one of those I couldn't find one. Now I see them available again now that I don't have a jeep anymore.

Another problem I've had no matter how I advertise something I want to sell is ""I'm too far" or "you're way out there"? I'm about an hour south of Chicago, when CL was big I'm in the middle, in the fringe of 3 maybe 4 CL listing areas, but not really"part of" any of them. When is list CL...

The last couple of years prior to last year some neighbors had wanted us to participate in a neighborhood wide sale they threw together but they only put the word out to the rest of us like 2-3 days before they had theirs. I need more time to ask off at work for one thing. Not to mention time...

We had to clean out my parents house last year after Mom died so we could sell the house. I'm still loaded to the gills.... And we did get rid of a lot. A couple of short notice ads on my wife's fake book, a 3 day long garage sale, plus gave a lot away. That doesn't count what my brothers got...

Shop essentials.... A BIG ENOUGH garage in the first place. When I built my 30x36 I thought it seemed huge .. it isn't.

I find when I need something it costs more than it's weight in gold. When I want to sell something I can't get scrap price.
