    I dropped off a new front spindle along with the bearing and hub assembly to a shop last week, he called me this morning and said he doesn't have the puck to get it all the way pressed in, I show up and he didn't press the hub into the bearing, just tried to press the bearing into spindle, I left him another new bearing to use as a puck,, and an old spindle assembly to learn from,..what are the odds he gets it done right??

    My advice is go to a local paint supply store and get to talking to someone there who knows what they’re doing. Ask if they paint cars on the side or know someone who does and you’ll end up paying 1/4 to 1/3 that price.

    It's true. I had my truck painted for $300+ cost of materials from an old local guy.
    Not perfect cause we did it outside under a canopy, but good enough for a trail truck and for what I use it for.
