This way, you get to postpone finishing the job, be unable to move your bike, order a new bearing, and wait for it to arrive. Then figure out how to seat the new bearing (hint, put the knuckle into your freezer for a few hours, and heat the bearing with a hair dryer, it'll drop right in).

I have the ability to turn a one hour job into a several day job. At least I didn't get stitches doing it, this time... I got my hand sewn up (this time) bringing my wife flowers at work. And my family says I'm accident prone. I've only had about 70 in the past 2 years. Hell, a good shark bite would've been way more than that!
Man! I have some poor luck myself but I have learned to keep my fingers out of the spinning wheel things.
