To recap:
SUBJECT: 2008 Wheel Bearing Packing Party
LOCATION:
Slee Off Road in Golden! Thank you Christo for helping us get this done!
DATE:
Saturday, April 5
TIME: Don't have that nailed down yet, but probably get started at 8 or 9 AM. The jobs need to be done or close to done by 12:30 or 1:00, because food will have arrived by then and then CLEANUP begins so that we're out of there at a reasonable time in the afternoon.
So here's the deal: Slee Off Road has two lifts, with enough floor space to fit an additional 2 or maybe 3 trucks, depending on what's being done. If it's nice weather then the workspace can be extended outside, but being that time of year we can't count on it until the day of.
Again I want to stress that this is a club wrenching event more than it is a "I need to get as much done on my truck in one day while I have access to a lift" event. I am loving the fact that Jeff, Steve, Bruce and others have stepped up offering help to the newer members, to help them figure out their rigs and to show the true spirit of Cruiser-headedness - no doubt they could be using the time to do some of this service stuff on their trucks as well!
I have been talking to participants via pm about what jobs are being planned, if I have missed you let me know and we'll figure it out. If you do not post in this thread or pm me then two things won't happen: 1) We won't order parts for you if you need them because 2) We won't know you're coming. We are going to be ordering parts soon, so if we don't have the jobs pretty much figured out then let me know!
We've got a good lineup so far, with full floater rear bearing packing happening, front bearing packing, and engine tuneup planned. We're pretty full, but if you want to come to watch/heckle/help or whatever then everyone is certainly welcome to!
For those who are coming: bring your tools and SST's, we need a
timing light and vacuum gauge as well (please post if you're bringing it, I have two but would have to get them to somebody), drain pans and
some kind of floor cover for the work you are doing would be nice - Christo will clean the floor beforehand so we want to make sure we leave it in the same or better condition! Just like when we're on the trail!
