Paul,
Thats truly VERY GOOD NEWS provided that just changing the bearing prevents the planetary (literally...) tragedy.
2 questions:
1. Would that (bearing change) be expensive? (I mean part+labour)
2. Can you provide us the current P/N ?
Many thanks ! Please think is there would be something else to be carried out preventively.
Jorge
PS: Your testimonial carries another info: the issue was NOT solved in 97 and perhaps a higher serial number means close to nothing.
