QUOTE(76-914 @ Jun 7 2021, 10:09 PM) I was lucky today. I took Kugel in for an alignment and "Road Force wheel balancing" in preparation for Rt66. Rather than wait 2 hours I walked down to my favorite hardware store and killed a little time there. When I returned they told me that they couldn't balance the wheels because they were afraid they'd damage the center caps. I returned home and removed the center caps so I could drop off the wheels back off to them in the morning. When I removed the wheels I found the r front outer bearing was kaput. I replaced inner/outer & races. That would not have been a fun thing to do in AX or NM. Good catch! |

Another prolouge post:
It would appear that BJ has lost his Johnson.......bar.  For those of you that are old enough....these molded "big guys" were made for advertisement purposes all over the mid-west and western US. This particular one has held several things in his hands including as you might of guessed a rifle, a muffler, video games...quite a roadside history. You may remember them near a Phillips 66 station.....hence the story on R66. |

Yesterday I did a third shakedown drive, going about 40 miles. I had been struggling with a weak battery and found that the ground strap from the trans to body was barely attached. Gave the contacts a good cleaning and bolted it back down. Hopefully that'll help.
Temps are a bit on the warm side in NM. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)   |
