Mine went out on the way to work. I made it into the parking garage but when I backed up it would go no more and had to push it into my stall. 50 miles away. Called the wife and listed all the tools I would need and where they were and she found them. Delivered them after work and after a trip to Champion, got to work on replacing the axle. Took a few hours but I was home in time for bed. Can’t remember if I used the compressor in the janitor’s closet or not for the nut.
A few weeks before I had made a high speed hard right turn from the freeway to the exit ramp and I always suspected that is what cracked the outer race. When you drive cars with a couple hundred thousand miles on them, ya gotta expect some problems.
