    . After more coffee I realize that the question was wrong you have disc brakes which means wheels off and remove caliper to remove hub.

    The changing of the disc pads is a snap though. Literally a snap. Minutes. Thanks for stopping by, see you in several hundred thousand miles.

    $600. Just a few dollars moar than what a pizza cost now INSIDE THE COMMUNIST STATE.

    I don't think you'll ever catch this cowboy messing with super singles though.

    The torque bar on the front axle had to be replaced as the bushing was gone and was metal to metal ( violation).

    This is how good this dude is-

    He took a small uni-bit and carved out the end of the old bar where it was up against the bolt before he did anything else, so he could get the socket on the bolt.

    He knows his stuff.

    Pray tell where is this shop located? Having that high quality tech on a Sunday is rare very rare.

    I asked The OM if we could get Waffle Haus. And she has authorized it.

    I asked if we could get it delivered, and she's like " No."

    So I suppose I shall venture over to WH.

    Oak Grove 70. They were Landstar's shop of the year.
    They have 7 Landstar level inspectors here. That means there's someone here 24/7. Although there is always a line. Most good shops there is a line.

    This same dude did my last LANDSTAR inspection. 0 violations.

    That time, the trailer I had was AFU. I watched him repair the brakes and hub. I knew then this was the man.
     
    Siinman, Speed_Drums, Eldiablo and 8 others Thank this.
