Yeah, I just went with the butterfly after some debating.  It was gaping 
pretty good but it looks ok now.

This blows.  I just had the bearing replaced last year and I think my other 
wheel bearing is bad now too.  I am in desperate need of a bearing puller 
and press, Adirondack has thiers lost in the mail and I'm not having much 
luck finding one around here.  Is this really my only option?

Thanks Shawn.
