It looks like March now before I see that new hub.
That will be 18 months. To celebrate that good news, the .010" brass shims in the current hub packed it in. That showed up after a 65 mph run on I 55 last Sunday on the way to Chicago. So I upgraded to .012" steel shims today. That extra .002" seems to have made a big difference. I couldn't press the bearings in by hand, so I used a bearing driver to get things back together. No wailing, just a couple of light taps to seat the bearings. Fingers crossed.
