The front rotors were seized to the hubs. Not pretty. Bless our servicemen & women overseas. L.Cpl Ian Malone, 1st Battalion Irish Guards, R.I.P.

But that sounds like a PITA. Round here it was like $150 or $200 for new hubs, bearings and pressing at a dealer. 1999 Contour SE Duratec ATX My feet and the Stra�?Ÿenbahn http://www.tempo-topaz-performance.com/topazsho/ the coolest Topaz ever!
