    I was going through the list of places they're installed and I saw Sac State on the list. The Smithsonian and Wynn Macau are also on it, crazy.

    About $40 per side. Gonna need a good impact gun and a ball joint press to replace them.

    Yeah, that's the one.

    My brother went to the rematch game they had when that one was canceled.

    Correct, the World Series of 1989 (Battle of the Bay, which was the Oakland A's versus the SF Giants) broadcasted the Earthquake live.

    You're gonna need an adjustable wrench made for removing the nuts on bridges if you want to go that route haha.

    I used a pipe wrench the first time around, it did not go well.

    yeah after experiencing the 6.7 in 1994 down here in LA (was the night we moved here from TX), every quake I've felt since has felt like a slight jostling in comparison.

    To this day even hearing a semi truck roll by when I'm inside of a building makes my heart rate go way up for a minute, I'll never forget that sound that we heard in the seconds before the Northridge one hit us. Could hear it coming before it happened

    Remember driving by where the 14/5 freeway bridge overpass was a couple days later, looked like a scene from armageddon where it collapsed. Was a huge freeway bridge that fell apart. We were about 10 miles from the epicenter

    Is it better to do that other than just replacing by the boots? I don’t think they have play in them. The rubber is just torn.

    Just replace them, you can't buy the boots by themselves.

    I have a 2" crescent wrench jammed into some uni strut that did a dandy job when I couldn't find the right socket
