[Vwdiesel] 'H' is for horrible...'M' is for miser

[Nate Wall]

That's a great price. Schley had an on-the-car bearing
press for VWs and it was costly, like $400 or so! I
recall Honda used some of the lathes to turn the
rotors on the car. Do you run the car in gear to turn
the rotors? I had an '80 Datsun 310 (The 310 was
Datsun's first stab at front wheel drive. As I recall,
the hub (w/ rotor attached) had to be removed and
front bearings had to be pressed off at a shop to get
the rotor off. I could see using an on-the-car lath in
this case!
