    Any one got a suggestion for a shop to install gears in the twin cities?

    Does anyone have all the tools to do a rear wheel bearings? Just watching a youtubes on how to do it (thanks KFlo) but he has a shop press and another bearing puller tool. I don't want to have to buy them to use them once. I would pay to borrow or for help one day.

    I am going to take it to a shop next week. After watching a couple videos and talking to a couple people who have done them said unless you have a press... Not gonna happen on your own. Plus its been getting louder and louder. I can't take it anymore. I hate to paying to have stuff done but once in a while you gotta do it.

    I know there were at least a few people here who went to Affordable Auto Solutions in Little Canada to get the woolwax undercoating on their trucks, including myself who had bought the lifetime service...

    I went to schedule my pre-winter touch-up for my undercoating and the website wasn't working. A bit weird but he's changed that before so I thought maybe it was just a different URL now, so I went over to the facebook page instead. I messaged through facebook to schedule the service but never heard back. So I tried calling their number and left a couple voicemails over the past few days, but nothing. Finally I found their new(?) webpage and it looks like they have "suspended" service for now according to the little ticker near the top. It seems like they might still be honoring the lifetime woolwax customers? Anyone talked to him lately and know what he is doing? The ticker says to do something with Telegram to contact them about lifetime service, but I don't have that and never has so I'm not sure. Might have to install it if that is the only option. Really hope they don't permanently shutdown or go out of business. Paid a decent amount for the lifetime and on top of that they are the only ones in the area that do woolwax/fluid film undercoatings, that I know of.

    That sucks. I was planning on reaching out after Labor Day to get in for my fall woolwax and like you, I too bought the lifetime woolwax package.

    Well he finally texted back to me to say he was on vacation and would get back to me when he's back, so I guess we wait a bit more. Will pass along whatever I find out.

    Yeah I thought I could do it until I watched the video. Harder then I'm willing to do. I will knock out the fronts in a few hours this weekend but the rears would be a few day job for me.
