Hub Shark Adventure Story

[Bernie Benz]

Kneale,

In retrospect, was the use of this “short cut” tool worth the “effort  
saved” if any, over doing the complete job right, i.e. strut/ bearing  
housing to the press, upper strut thrust bearing checked and relubed,  
CV boot possibly replaced, shock insert checked?
