Sounds good to me.  I think everyone likes to see photographs.  With photos, I can sit and enjoy the progress while someone else does the work. :)

Could be interesting.  Eat your Wheaties lol.
I was able to get mine turned down vs. spending 130.00 each, but the hub still had to come off.

Yep, toast.  Mine were scored pretty bad, but no cracks.
Hardest part doing mine, was just getting the dust caps off  the hub.  (and the lifting)

Photos or Videos are good and we can put it in the Projects or the Tech section.
