ya'll have fun.. I'll be in Beaufort for a family reunion weekend.... but I'll be taking my 16 there... that is if I can fix my my wheel bearings by then... On the way back from Cat Fest I noticed that I had blown out the bearing seal and it was slinging grease everywhere.... I bought a grease gun in Winston Salem and stopped to add grease every 20-30 minutes.. I took it off this weekend.. very wobbly. I totally shreaded the inside bearing.. nothing but metal shards. It's a wonder I got home on just the outside bearing. One weird thing is that my spindle is bent up but there is not any unusual wear on it... not sure if the heat could bend it like that or if it had been like that.
