2008 June 01: Wheel assembly (3.25 hours)

• Installed the brake discs on the front wheel.
• Installed the brake disc on the rear wheel.
• Discovered I failed to chase the 6 mm threads that secure the cush drive retaining plate in place. These are the three threaded holes in the hub. So, I chucked my tap into my cordless drill and proceeded to chase each hole. I've done this many times without any trouble. This time however, on the last hole, I snapped the tap off in the hole. It took 3 hours to extricate it from the hole. Then I repaired the damage with J-B WELD. What a frustrating time waster. I should have known better. Ugh.
