airline tote bags are just the ticket , can use all those pockets.

Wheels also last far longer than the plastic totes you see many using .

BONUS!
Got my bag from the Salvation army store for $5...

what i have found to work very well for this is a flathead screwdriver that comes in a eyeglasses repair kit, it comes in handy for very small nthings that your normal tools just dont seem to wrk well on

Ok, I am not sure how this is affecting me, but I recently put the HD JC 6 1/2 in wing on my buggy, but I did not get the high clearance. So I assume my rear wheels are hitting the win, well i know they are, lol. Anything I can do besides buy a new wing? Or does it even matter that the wheels hit the wing and full compression?

Lol, I sadly don't have one of those tiny screwdrivers and the grease and heating doesn't seem to be working. It's still stuck in there and not inching out at all

did you try the oven? I would think the alum would expand more than the steel

one question for you guys, do the shock oil fade the lower aluminum ball that goes in the lower shock eyelet. when it is time to rebuild my shocks when im cleaning off the lower parts of the shocks the blue is faded off and i see oil on it, idk if it is from wear or it due to the oil. If it is the oil, that seems like a wy to take the blue off the turnbuckles as i keep seeing ppl ask how to do so and make them nickel looking. how often do you guys rebuld your shocks also, i refill mine once or twice a wk depends if i race once or three times that wkand how much i practice also. just trying to know why they leak sooo much compared to other brands, say the k shocks?

Are you guys being serious about putting a hub in the oven? There's no other way lol?

try an exacto knife to see if you can pry out the bearing piece
