Hey guys just a little update on the bugger... Well monday I was comming home from the back and I was about a mile away from my house when I started to hear a squeeking noise comming from the front drivers side wheel. well as I got about 3 blocks from my house the wheel locked up and I was able to make it to the side of the road... With the help of Ethan's big toe I was able to get her home with a hub assembly from his wifey's bug.. (thanks again buddy) Also thanks to Bo for the guidence he gave too.... I have yet to tear her down to get her fixed.. Ill prolly get her back on the road tomorrow after my meeting with my oncologist for chemo... Ill keep you guys posted..

Im sorry i was kinda vague on how it locked up.. Well when I pulled the nuts off there was little bits of metal. so I looked at the bearings and one of them was missing.... I have no idea how this could have happened...
