Been having substantial issues with our existing and repairs were going to be over $600. Wifey has wanted a new range for a while, so apparently she called her supplier (she works for a developer) and ordered a new one. We had been talking about it but I wasn't expecting that knock at 7:45am today. Also, it's coming out of her business acct, which is where all of her side work goes, so it's kind of all hers anyways. It's fancy, but it makes her happy, so yeah.
I mean it's not IAB getting a phone call that a new BMW was purchased, but *surprise*!
Yeah what I should have done is pressed both bearings in at the same time, but I don't have a threaded rod long enough to do so.a correct sized bearing drift will not exceed the OD of the bearing itself and will clear no problem. I finally broke down and bought one, i'd recommend it.
mine is wheels mnfg. you can buy the bearing presses as a kit, or the press handle and rod standalone, then the individual drifts.

Need someone local with that fancy park tool bearing kit.
If only I replaced bearings frequently enough to justify spending the money. Those kits look decent.
i've got 2 of their bearing presses now, plus a headset press from another mnfg. don't get used often, but often enough that it was cheaper for me to buy the tools in the long run.If only I replaced bearings frequently enough to justify spending the money. Those kits look decent.
Also, @CrabJoe StretchPants isn't too far away.

It's funny that you thought I'd be doing the work.I said non-hamfisted friends could borrow my Park kits, Mr. Schrader-Annihilator

As if I'd jeopardize my career as an amateur hand model. These digits are too delicate and beautiful to engage in manual labor.

Yo dawg.
Sell it and donate the money to an Amazon unionization effort.An ethical quandary:
Some weeks ago I ordered a fancy travel case for work related purposes through Amazon. Brown Santa just drove through the hood and delivered not one, but two such cases. A quick look into our records indicates quite clearly that we were only billed for one.
On one hand, I know what I should actually do here, and @FSM knows I could use the karma these days. On the other, Fuck Jeff Bezos.
for low value items, amazon often doesn't want it returned but will credit you anyways, because return shipping & time to restock are worth more than the value of the item.An ethical quandary:

They recently asked me to return a 2-pack of button batteries because one of them didn't work, rather than credit me the $4 or ship a replacement 2-pack. It was the most asinine customer service experience I've ever had with them.for low value items, amazon often doesn't want it returned but will credit you anyways, because return shipping & time to restock are worth more than the value of the item.
Maybe I'm not monocle enough, but 260 bucks isn't "low value" in my mind.for low value items, amazon often doesn't want it returned but will credit you anyways, because return shipping & time to restock are worth more than the value of the item.
This is an amazing idea.Sell it and donate the money to an Amazon unionization effort.

My opinion on such matters is that if I bought this from a small private business/mom and pop shop, I'd return it. For Amazon though, the hell with it. I bought my Garmin watch from them. Ordered the Fenix 5 ($400) and they send me the Fenix 5X Sapphire ($750), and my answer to that was "Thanks, Amazon!!" I mean, do they really care??An ethical quandary:

Check the item description. I’ve unknowingly bought several of the same items because they were only sold in 2 packs. Got myself 5 extra backcountry bidets that way.An ethical quandary:

Eh... Too late, I already sent it back, like a sucker.what color is it? I have a use for such a case.
If you don't like it sell it to me before you paint it neon.
Huhuhuhuh
Would love to know what setup principles I can’t handle.The irony of a boutique linkage fork for a guy that can't handle basic setup and maintenance principles is not lost on.....well, probably anyone.
