Unfortunately, the best known rebuild source is located at the end of your arm........

Yeah, I know, I know. I was kind of hoping for a 'plug n play' solution. I mean for $2-300 it is almost worth it to me to not mess with all the grease and fuss etc. But i've reviewed some posts and found a few decent videos online and I have 'mechanics apprentice' type skill-set, so I believe I can do it. Even have a set of snap-ring pliers, I might as well just go ahead and do it with the rebuild/ refurbish boot and grease kit and move on.
