Spider gear fun

[grampahol]

So yesterday, a day that will live in infamy I had to replace the rear axel bearings in my truck, by itself no big deal, BUT somewhere along the way the left axel decided to jam up and whilst rotating it a tad the spider gears fell out and THEN i ran out of daylight, it got too cold and dark and today I have to relearn how to do this nonsense all over again after 20+ years of having not done this for a long time.. I'm not feeling too swell about this this morning. At 61 it's no longer much fun laying on the hard concrete doing things upside down. Trust me on this..You WILL get old someday and forever regret not being rich enough to pay some other schmuck to do all this crap for you.. Unless you do manage to hang onto a few bucks.. (I didn't) I could really use a 6 foot long arm today, but I wasn't born that way so..oh well.. Luckily I have another vehicle to run around to get parts, drive around full of regrets and so on, but that doesn't fix the problem at hand.. The sun is just coming up now as I type.. Wish me luck!
