Calm and ration have a lot to do with that. To many people freak and that's what gets them into trouble.

Re: todays fun
My outer bearing retaining clip came out of the groove in the hub. This caused the outer bearing to wobble around and it was all down hill from there.
Your right, If you just break an axle, the wheel wont come out. My problem was within the hub itself, so all of it slid out. The axle shaft was still bolted to the hub and the nuts were still on the spindle.

Re: todays fun
You can see the outer bearing here. I had to order a new snap ring to go in there, as the old one was getting sloppy and loose.

Re: todays fun
Have you ever been to brandon, or the florida state fairgrounds? Its about 5 min from there. So maybe around 35min from you. I can wait to get back out there with all the rain we've been having.
