bearings and bouces

[Dan Simoes <dans@ans.net>]

Bounces first - sorry about all the fluff that's been coming to
the list.  Nature of the beast in some cases, but mostly 
misconfigured mailers.  As more and more people get on the net, 
I think we'll see more and more misconfigured servers and so forth.
When I upgrade to a newer machine (shortly) I'll also be upgrading
to a newer version of majordomo which traps bounces and things
a bit better.

On to bearings...  I need to replace a wheel bearing (front left)
on my 1988 90 non-q.  I've started calling places in the vendors
list (don't forget folks, update me if you have good/bad info on 
vendors so it's easier for all to parse through the file!) but
I thought I'd ask to see if anyone had any specific recommendations.
IPC is the only place that sells a 'kit' so far, and GPR says there
is a different bearing depending on if the car was built before or
after 4/88.  Oh joy.

Any specific tips on doing this job? (other than what's in the 
archives.)  I think I'll remove whatever I need to get a 'portable'
piece I can take to a shop and have them press in the new bearing.
I haven't looked at the book yet, and I've never done it before, so
other than removing the wheel, axle nut, brakes, and strut (?) I'm
not sure what else is in there...

Oh - If Chris Ice is reading... how's the engine TAP TAP TAP noise?
Another person asked me if the car was a diesel last weekend.  Grrr.
The remodeling of the house we bought is taking up so much time I
haven't even been able to change my oil on time, let alone remove
the hydraulic pump (since I change at 3k intervals, another 1k
isn't going to hurt much, don't worry.)
