Frankly, your ethnic sensitivity shows need of some schoolin'. Howevah, I am willin' to ignore your lack of good mannahs, especially in light of the fact that should you choose -- as have several million of your blue-skinned northern brethren -- to repair to these southern climes as our genetically superior ancestors did lo these many generations ago, please do rest assured that, so long as you select a place south of I-4 (even, sadly, many places north of it), you are sure to be among like-minded, black-speedoed, dunlop-bellied Canadjuns -- with nary a bubba in sight.

As I recall from doing this job on my now-departed (snif) '68 Westy, these are the _archetypal_ snap-rings, the mothers-of-all-etc., the eaters-of-cheap-snap-ring-pliers and fliers-off-in-your-flinching-face big muthas. Just to frighten the uninitiate... But they do come out, and (unghh, twist, OK) it _is_ worthwhile to have a look at those bearings as long as you've gone that far.
