  2.  @Michael-yi4mc  Full to the brim and one of those where the straps have to be cut and replaced, with the snap off bolts, when you do remove the tank, and you cannot drain it when it is up in place in the vehicle.

  3.  @TheBry_Guy  Yes but you probably will want to only put a few bucks in, to get a quarter tank, and then try again.

  4.  @StrengthAndConditioning61  Last one I changed was nice and easy, just a little hard to get the lock ring out without the right tool, but the large water pump pliers worked well there.

  5.  @shakerman55  Yes, and likely not covered under warranty either, as it would be classed as deliberate damage.

  7. Yes but the bearing is only a tiny bit cheaper than the whole assembly, and once you take into account the 15 minutes of time to press it out and the new one in, it is cheaper to replace the whole thing. Yes doing it yourself the labour cost is lower, but Ray has to make a profit on the job, and the 30 minutes to swap versus spending 30 minutes on another billable job, is making replace the whole thing look a lot cheaper. I have done a repack on noisy ones, but once noisy the bearings are already toasted, but more grease from new will help with longer life. Bearing packer that gets the extra bit past the seals works well, especially on ZZ bearings where that is just a dust seal, and not so well on RR ones, where you might pop the seal getting more in. Have done gearbox bearings, where the new ones came in as RR, and I removed the inner seal, so the gearbox oil could lubricate the bearing as well, much better life over the original. Those with an outer seal both got removed, so the seal got lubrication.

  8. No problem found, but a good basis to start with for any issues in the future. Plus a good belt for future use. Could laso be engine or trans mounts that are marginal, or a suspension rubber that is worn, or even a bit of debris picked up in the tyres.
