   turn left and it's the right axle. of course, it made noise once 
while turning right. still i know it's the right side because of the 
1-to-2 boot hanging on there with grease all over the place :(

   okay, i'll take you challenge. not thinking that i can beat it, but 
what the hey. dark is here by 6pm and winter's coming. it needs to be done.
   the only questions that i have are 1) did you have your tools ready 
so that you could do the job in one sitting? did you use power tools or 
standard muscle power? 2) was your axle pre-packed or was it one of the 
crazy ones that you had to do yourself? (also, were the boots already on 
it?) 3) any other items replaced while you were under there?
   let me know and i'll see how bad i can flub this up. :)
