Busy for me too.. I am in a lot of conference calls and some don't really require my presence unless I am called on.. I multi-task a little and sometimes here...

I use it on the axle to hub mating if the oring is junk. I'm to cheap to buy an oring...

Just light sprinkles here so far but looks like it could rain harder anytime.
Silly country bumpkins... Dinner is the evening meal!

Good evening everyone. Slowly getting stuff done around here, kids activities are keeping me busy lately.

Someone want to come pull the engine out of my 78 and install it in my Torino????

No rain here either, and as soon as the sun goes down the mosquitoes are horrible here. It hinders the outdoor stuff a little, but not as much as getting home with less than 1 hour of good usable daylight....

Oh, lunch was about 8 1/2 hours ago.

Anyone who races diesel trucks knows that competition places huge stresses on steering components. This is especially true when someone launches hard off the line, so it is not uncommon to see stock pieces failing before they even get going down the track.
LOL, silly Chevys

Not yet. I bought new pads and hardware kit. Need to check the cables but probably need new ones. Is there something you wanted to share?

I would be willing to bet you are going to need backing plates as well.
