Don't forget about the set of needle bearings inside the spindle. I had a fun time trying to get one of mine out, LOL!

great....something to look forward to..... i was actually looking at them last night...i guess i'll have to get some sort of small internal bearing puller...

I got one out with a cold chisel coming through from the other side and I think I scored the other ones shell with the dremil tool to split it after the bearings fell out to get it loose.

Don't have it in my Waggy either, thank heavens. But an open knuckle design is a lot easier to keep clean.

If you had you wouldn't forget it easily :-)

Woops, answered too quick without reading properly. Replacing the ball is not something you forget in a hurry..

The joint inside is no fun, either - especially at something like

-10F.

thanks for the tips-i'll keep them in mind...
