I believe any Canadian Tire service centre will do that for you, but, it will take a couple of shop hours if they are the fully oscillating muffler bearings.

Don't forget to collect those Canadian Tire dollars too!


Lol.

Dollars? You must spend alot of your hard earned money there to "dollars" back. I only get paper nickels.

I told my wife I gave our four year old son $3.00 because he cleaned up his bedroom. She freaked, "I only give him .25$". I didn't tell her it was all crappy tire money, he couldn't even carry it all. Looked like a million (real) dollars.

Ccw, full floating, air ride, muffler bearings. Ya know, the fancy schmancy muffler bearings no less.

I'll get out my chiton handbook, it has better pictures than the AIM anyway. If I can't figure it out by the pictures ill go to crappy tire. If I pay bill with cash ill get those "paper dollars" I've read so much about. I can't wait. Don't worry, I'll start a thread about so everybody can read about it.

Will advise....

Ontario73, if you want distraction from your real life and the responsibilities of career, family, etc. get a real life! If you personally crave levity, rather than Corvette articles, I am sure there are other
Boards that will fill the bill.

This Board, back in the old days, was not designed for LEVITY, but for legitimate Corvette questions and answers.

How the school children and wanna be school children managed to post BS on a technical forum, and get away with it, is beyond me.

Although the OP did make me smile when I read it, I don't think it's unreasonable to suggest that joke posts be placed in the General area, not the Tech & Perf area. YMMV, of course!

Help me out, I forgot. Is it north of the border they go counter clockwise, and south they go clockwise, or am I thinking of something else?
