I will pick you up a new cup in the near future. Didn't realize I had destroyed the cup for you. I guess I will need to do my ball joints up front. I might just take it to my normal mechanic that I use when don't have time to do jobs myself. Have been told they are starting to get loose. I apologize for using your cup up. But my spider sure is shiny.

I didn't mean to make you feel guilty Ted, I could be more to blame than you. I didn't realize it was wearing down.

Hey, it isn't a big deal. We live close enough to each other that I can pickup one up and drop it off for him. I need to get one of those for my grinder as well.

im reeeally not worried about it... im actually kinda surprised it held up as long as it did...
i had just enough left on it to get my rotors done.

i did not do the needle bearings...
driver's side hub is new... i put it on in preparation of being able to initially bring the truck home from touchofgrey's place. my passenger side hub seal is blown... so its all coming apart very soon anyway.

I came across that video not long after I got Gus. Slide pins were locked up, and front rotors were at to hell. I hammered and beat and swore and beat and hammered, and couldn't get them off for like 3 hours. Took a break and googled a little bit, that vid gave me the idea, and it worked wonders .. Hopefully you don't need that again, but boy does it work.
