I couldn't agree more, I've learned first hand how important that is. If you look back to the first photos, that original shop, is a catastrophe. I don't know how I hadn't realized that before, but it truly should have given me all the answers I needed about their work the second I walked in.

I've learned my lesson, very much the hard way.
That's very unfortunate.
However, for many of us following along with this saga, we've learned as well. I know it's little consolation, but the community will benefit from learning this lesson as well. We're all going to end up doing bearings at sometime or another because they're basically wear items.
