I would love to be able to fix the problem myself, but I live in an apartment complex, and I have no where to work on it. I need it to be fixed ASAP, because It is my Daily driver. The outer cap on the hubs is threaded, you unscrew it by hand and at least spray a light lubricant in there. The cap may be tight as it seats on an Oring that would be dry. This is not much more work than checking oil level and tire pressures which I hope can be done at a condo lot.
Cheers, Charlie

You can by them used for $30-60. More than likely they just need some lubricating. For one thing, both sides will not fail at the same time.
You might want to post who your dealer is since they are dishonest and that will reduce the chance of others being raped by them.

Unless you are way more mechanically inept than Stony <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/ignore.gif" alt="" />, you can defintely do this yourself. Please do as Charlie suggests and post the name of this Stealer.
Fasteddy's advice is occasionally sound...
