Cory's Shiny


I suppose I'll follow Fred's car theme: as I've noted here before, I have an old Beetle living in my garage.  Last week I went out there and discovered a rather large puddle of transmission oil under it, which led to me removing a drive axle to replace a seal.  As long as I had it off, I figured I should clean and repack the CV joints.  CV joints are very messy inside, but once you get all of the grease cleaned off you find these pretty little shiny ball bearings inside.  My joints were in pretty good shape, so later this week I'll fill them with grease again and put them back on the car, at which point they won't be anywhere near so shiny anymore.
