Hello everyone! As of today, we have 90 registered! That's going to be a great turn out!
Just a reminder that rally registration closes on May 9 so that we can place our t-shirt order for the rally.
If you are coming, but have not sent in your registration, do it TODAY or TOMORROW!
After that, we will not accept any orders for t-shirts. We order a few extra of the most common sizes for the rally. You can only get what is available.
Have you all made your hotel reservations? If not, do it NOW! If our blocked rooms are full at Laquinta Inn, you'll have to find other lodging.
See you all soon!

rear bearings
Ok, need a new rear tire. Since I have no idea how old the bearings are, I figured I change them at the same time. The bearing kit arrived yesterday - 2 bearings and 1 seal. Is that correct? I'm used to a bit more in a kit and want to make sure I have everything.

Re: rear bearings
That should do it. Clean and lube your splines before you reinstall the wheel with some moly lube. A toothbrush works well to apply it.Wahrsuul wrote:Ok, need a new rear tire.

Re: rear bearings
Just in case you do not know. One of the rear bearing comes out by the normal process of tapping it out, the other one, (brake side) has a snap ring that is hidden under the rubber seal that you have to remove, then remove the bearing

Re: rear bearings
Excellent, just the kid of thing I needed to know. The Nexen arrived yesterday, but I'm not sure if I'll have time this weekend to got to it.
