Patrick doesn't mind if no one wants to buy "his" seals.

I bought them for myself as I have multiple Fieros that need their front wheel bearings repacked. I just thought I'd mention earlier that I'll have some extra seals with me tomorrow which might save someone a trip to their own auto parts supply store.

hey buddy it is beutifull here so far we have about 4 cars here, getting lots done. if you want to come and do your wheel bearings, we can nose the front half of your car in my shop and giver sh_t..... your choice

i might be by the time you get here, but it is perfect so far....

It turned out that checking and repacking my front wheel bearings was the perfect task to have chosen.

We discovered when we took off my front rotors that both bearing seals were not even attached to the rotors any longer.  This meant that the bearings were no longer being protected from dirt and water. Fortunately, all the bearings still looked okay, so they were cleaned up and repacked with Castrol Syntec grease. (Is that stuff ever thick!)

We also discovered that none of the brake caliper "sliders" were sliding any longer. They are now.

Thanks to John Craker for giving us all pointers on how to do the job properly.

Special thanks to Glenn for hosting the tech session at his place today, and added thanks to Glenn for being so helpful in getting my car back together to make it to the club meeting on time!

That's what I was thinking as well. Let's not wait until winter next year before we get together to "winterize" our cars!

Are you still trying to figure that out?  

I use IrfanView for all my image resizing needs. Works great, price is right as well.

That's okay Glenn, getting a shot of Nigel's legs takes top priority at club affairs!

In the thread about the All Pontiac Show last summer, Patrick wrote: This is Nigel telling Clynt and John how some naughty boys were making fun of his legs.

Oh, and we can't forget this unfortunate incident!

In the thread about Romeo's clutch swap, Patrick wrote: Tragedy struck late in the evening as Dave and Tristan, both ripped on unknown substances, ran over Nigel with Nigel's own car while he was laying there playing with his tie rod.

cooool !!!

  Dave, i will leave it to you to break the news to Zen that we are having so much fun at his expense  lol :)
