    Well, I got all four on. They look great. I think I'm gonna need a spacer for the front wheels because they are gonna rub on part of the steering linkage-ness.

    So, I was getting ready to move it and realized I'd busted one of the wheel dollies!:slap::taz::mad::banghead3::cussing:

    One of the casters gave up the ghost, ball bearings all over the floor. Wife came out to the garage to see what the "H" was going on.

    Sooooooooo....

    There it sits. Gonna have to figer out how to fix it so I can pull it away from the wall and git it out of the garage.

    Did I mention they look great?

    Use a floor jack to move it.

    So you are suggesting I jack it up and give it a yank?

    Think I’ll stick with the original plan of getting the wheel dollie fixed.

    The first garage I worked at had a set of those dollies. We jacked up the owners VW, put it on those and wheeled it sideways infront of the workbench, pulled them out and stored them behind the furnace.

    Footnote #2; I was the boss's favorite employee.

    I don't know how many times I've done that, never had a problem. You are on you perfect flat garage floor to boot, you still have to get a floor jack under it to get the wheel dolly out, rite?
