   congratulations. nothing better than hearing...nothing when driving 
down the road. i'm curious, was this and on-the-car or off-the-car tool? 
i bought an on-the-car one from harbor freight for $8X dollars after 
being told it would be $20 per hub IF i were to remove it from the car 
and take it somewhere. i had to do four so, you do the math. only thing 
i had to get that didn't come with the kit were bolts for the hubs for 
removal, but those were taken care of with a couple mkiv sub-frame 
bolts. and, i agree, it is nice to do something other than oil changes 
for a while.
