awww crapp!!!!!!!!!!

today sucked,... i was so proud of myself for the great paint job i
did on my rear axle, that i decided to treat the old bucket of bolts to a chrome cover and change the 90 weight before starting in on the brakes. so i ran down to the local speed shop and got the stuff to do it with. i loosened the cover bolts and let the lube drain into a bucket. then i pulled the cover off. then i noticed the shavings in the bottom of the housing. ring gear looked good, not much wear at all. pinion teeth looked intact. now where did that metal come from? then i saw it, the pin that goes through the carrier has trashed the carrier. the hole around the pin has so much slack that there is a cresent shaped hole around the pin and the metal around the pin hole is mushroomed out about an eight of an inch. crap!!! some days you just can't win.
tomorrow has to be a better day. the law of averages says you can't have bad luck all your life, right?
