If you have came across any of my post then you know all about my DW:bow:....Im trying everything i can within my reach right now to get rid of it. I just put 36s on her and the DW cracked my frame. I got ORDs kit and had it welded in. Then i went and got Balljoints/wheel bearings/Rotors/Brakes/Steering dampener ( which got ruined 5 minutes after i installed it:D) On friday got a press for the Balljoints..I could not get them out for the life of me ( was pressing them the wrong way:doah:) returned the Press before i realized i was doing it wrong...:mad: So today i took the knuckles down and had the Balljoints pressed out and the new ones pressed in. So i get home and start putting everything back together. I realized i needed to take out the wheel bearing races...got some good advice on here and in 10 minutes..had them out. When i went to put the new races in...the outers fit fine, but not the inners(par for the course right?) I take the inners back to Autozone and the ones that come up in there computer are not even the right ones. So we looked At the HD ones and they show the outers being the same Part # but not the inners...so we think thats it...But...they did not have those in stock to match them up. Only one store had em and when the lady called to have them measured up they blew her off!...(they were closing in three minutes) so now she sits another day on jacks. Until i can get these spicer44 hd races with bearings...if those are even the right one since we couldn't get them to measure em for us. Maybe one day i'll be back on the road:yikes:
 
Dont feel bad, my K5 has been on jacks for 4 years + now.
 
Mine was parked for 3 years, had it running for 6 months. Bought a house, had a kid, and got married, and it has been parked in the garage for a year now broke. Just started working on it again, hoping to have her on the road in a month or 2.
