The coach information sticker was removed when the inside of the glove box door was painted. It used to be left of the latch. Dave Lenzi rebuilds front hubs, he's in Davison MI (Detroit area). If you don't want to get into removal/replacement of the front bearings, take or ship him the entire hub assembly. It will come back in better than new condition. As to front axle removal, it isn't hard but it is exacting to get the ends out of the hubs. With the control arms at just the correct height and the wheels turned just right, and the inner flange tucked up just right, the stub clears by maybe a quarter inch - but it clears. I fought my left front for a day and then coerced George Zhookoff to come help. I offered him a pair of gloves and he said he wouldn't need them, got in the coach and turned the steering wheel and 'now try it'. Fit right in. The right front is way easier, there's more room. Before you start on the front or the lower engine and stuff do yourself a favor. Remove the inner wheel liners and set them aside for greatly improved access. If you don't already have a Fox and Hound, buy one. It saves a lot of grubbing behind panels and under the dash. mine was under $20 on eBay.

Shelties? Lovely little guys. We're down to one Kuvasz (bred them in the past) and one Border Collie. Two is about the limit in a GMC unless they're lapdogs. I showed Kuvasz out of my 23' for some years. Rear bath Norris with a tub big enough to bathe them.

Welcome to the group, and when you do the Southeast, stop off.
