Glad to help, Spud.
Red letter day today. The jacket showed up. Too hot to do much other than try it on. The XL fits, but just. Felt pretty comfortable.
Although we are under a heat advisory today until Sunday, I ventured out to the garage and got the seal installed. Pretty straight forward job and I didn't need to remove the wheel and final drive, just the boot. I managed to get the seal in about 3/4 of the way with just my fingers and finished up with my gasket hammer and light taps. Used both my bore-scope and dental mirror with a flashlight to verify it was in square.
It was actually nice in the garage with the door closed. The 'Suckitude Meter' went right off the scale when I did open the door. EEWWWWW!!!!!
Might be a cheeseburger run with Mrs. C tomorrow night.
