I'll have to redo everything I did last week, pull the axles seals and bearings and start all over.. Fun, fun and funner than a barrel of dead monkeys..

That's always the worst thing to go through in a repair.  The older I get, the less often I do vehicle repairs myself.  But the times that I do, I have gotten more and more to the point of replace everything, including stuff further along.  For example, my parking brakes are inside of my rear rotors ( the rotor is the brake hub).  If the disc has to be replaced, I am replacing the pads, disc, and parking brake shoes and hardware.  Otherwise I end up putting it all back together only to have the parking brake shoes crap out a few weeks later.  Now I'm doing it all over again because I didn't want to go one more step the last time.
