But I don't want to, any more. I ought to be able to get a mechanic that
can at least do the things I know how to do. ;-(

I intend to back off that one acorn and have a look.
It might be that they used it to pull in the new studs, and didn't have a
pad to make up for the missing wheel. Maybe they pressed them in.

On the plus side, I think that the bearing was going bad. I think the car
is quieter now.
