Tom,

I'll put them on my site if you'd like.

I really didn't intend to lay this one on you. Lord knows you've already
done more than your share by making the tools available not to mention
so affordable (by comparison).

I've gained a lot of confidence from "How To" videos for various
projects that I was a bit apprehensive about undertaking. The thing
that concerns me about the bearing service is as you said many
mechanics think they can do the job and end up ruining either the hub,
knuckle or both not to mention the resulting hair raising experience for
the coach owner.

IMO a video could better illustrate to the novice just what to look for
in determining weather or not the knuckle needs to be reconditioned and
prevent them from making the same mistakes as these mechanics. OTOH the
logistics would be a lot less complicated with the posted digital
pictures and they would be accessible to all netters. I would be happy
with either but why not get some other opinions also.

Thanks for the reply (and the offer)

Dick

In my case, apparently, the mechanic didn't have the special bearing puller,
so he just cut/chiseled the old bearings off. I got back very small
pieces. I had expected to keep the old bearings as emergency back-up. Now
that I have the puller, that won't happen again. Until I take the present
bearings apart again, I really don't know what that mechanic did to my
coach.
