    Just did the white line LCA bushings. Helps to have a set of hands. And some 2” pipe cut up works perfect to press the sleeves in on the bench vise.

    Good to know. I was actually thinking about that when I got them. I'll see if there's anything in the garage I can use, but that would definitely solve my problem of how to press them in.

    Got them ready to install. What did you use to grease them?

    It's great stuff. I've used it on everything so far. I got a cartridge of it for my grease gun

    I might have some in the garage. If not, I'll see if my local Napa has some first, but I might as well save that for later.

    Thanks!
    I'm on my 2nd set of Maxxis Bighorns. It's time for something new next time around. These still have a year or 2 left though.

    Actually it is. Most of the stuff we work on at work is at most a 265s or smaller. Tesla's tend to roll in on 245s and we do a few a day. The rare corvette on 335s is about as fat of the tire we do. It's also a huge pain in the ass to do. Trucks are kind of a pain in the ass, mostly because of weight, both the vehicle and wheels, but we still work on them.

    Yep! It's definitely something I'm learning more and more as I work on my service coordinator promotion. Some people just want to believe they we take their car into the backroom and *presto-chango* 4 new tires in an instance.

    I feel the same way about a lot of people's attitudes about how food is made.
    We don't just pour it out of a bottle.
