Thanks,

The back looks easy but these are on the front and it look like there is not enough room to remove them without taking the hub to bits?

I gather you just did the back? Do you know how easy or hard it is to do the front?

I know its not ebay but there is some resonable stuff on here

Its an Opposite Lock Store that went under.

The prices look good but I bet some idiots push the prices over retail towards the end.
