Luckily, we had no issues with the wheels, as returning home I decided to try to repair the damaged Oxidation, which had taken place on a front passenger wheel. The Van sits in our VanPort thru the winter months and the moisture from a discharge vent on a garage furnace, attacked the wheel! Yesterday, my Grandson helped me to remove the hub. It was "Bonded" real well to the wheel, as it took us 2.5 hours to get off! I am just thankful to not having had to do any work on the road!!!  It is SO much easier working at home with one's own tools!! Link: http://s220.photobucket.com/albums/...0Summer%20of%202012/?albumview=slideshow

It's our "Summer Cruiser", till the Earlies are back on the road! Hey, the Van is 18 years old! It's the "Newest" one in our "Bunch"! lol ![[Linked Image]](http://memimage.cardomain.com/member_images/3/web/2943000-2943999/2943309_2_full.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://memimage.cardomain.com/member_images/3/web/2943000-2943999/2943309_4.jpg)
