So, after I found a new wheel bearing and had the old one pressed out and the new one pressed in, I found out that the suspension upright/bearing carrier is worn, allowing the new bearing to move around. Not good. The repair shop found a used upright and kindly transferred my new bearing to it.
I finally got the part back with the new bearing on Friday, July 6. I reassembled the right-side suspension and moved on to replacing the brake hoses. The right side went fine. When I tried to remove the hose on the left side, I rounded the nut holding the hose to the brake caliper. I rushed out to the salvage yard and they found a donor caliper I could get the part I needed from.
I finished up around 5:00pm. I made an appointment for an alignment at Norm's for Saturday morning. We dropped the car off Friday night and it was done before noon on Saturday.

Yay! That was pretty frustrating. Man, I'd never undertake such a venture. You are a brave guy. But now you have a great front end. I imagine the difference in driving is huge. Good job.
