    Awesome. BamaToy is top-notch and a great help on here, although I do seem to recall him having a thing for "hooters girls" (and I use that term loosely)...:D

    :rofl:

    I was referring to that picture you seemed to enjoy that I posted a good while back...

    On a serious note, hopefully my bearings will last a good while more (65K now), but I do have a question - do you include the torque specs and any instructions or whatever? Keep up the great work!

    My advice to make your new wheel bearings last is to re torque them after couple hundred miles.
