No such luck buddy.
Heres the full story:
Got out there, took the first hook Friday. Broke the U-Joint and Cardigan joint in the front shaft spooling up on the line... got that taken care of by Scheids (thanks for the great service) Thanks to Greg that hangs out with Dave's diesel, he donated a front shaft with an intact CV joint as well!
While waiting for that to be done, I noticed my hub was leaking gear oil.. Mark (Got Smoke) told me he had a seal, so we took the tire off to swap it out (piece of cake, or so we thought)
We were also going to take the brake shoes off that side because we thought they were rubbing due to the torn up backing plate. (the brakes were disconnected on that side) No such luck.
Turns out the hub bearings had welded themselves to the hub.. and No amount of beating could get them off the spindle.
My father came out from WI with a trailer and got me home though.
Fun Weekend.
