I wouldn't either, but I had enough faith they could tighten a nut. And I
couldn't imagine them having the nerve to charge me. I can see the invoice
"tightened nut -$20.00". Bad for business. When I swap out the bearings I'll
tighten them has tight as I'm able and then go over there and ask them to
torque 'em to specs. Maybe I'll bring a case of beer or a pie.

Come to think of it, he didn't charge me for a new cotter pin either. Better
make sure there's one in there!
