STATIC TEXT TOP:
The main horse is down for the count!! Thankfully I'm just squeezing in under the warrantee [sic] for this drive train work. But we're looking at 7K for the rest. [astonished face emoji]

STATIC TEXT BOTTOM:
Gotta get it done though! [loud crying face emoji superimposed on animated gif of person tossing away dollar bills into the air]

DIALOGUE:
[MECHANIC]
Better side of the tube, but stress cracks on the exterior and interior. Hard to see without decent lighting, but some light there.

[MICHAEL]
Yeah.

[MECHANIC]
And then around on the other side, cause yeah, she had hopped off this and back onto it afterwards just to clean it all up, get it prepped for finishing the bearing and brake work. And that was when she was like, Oh, well that's definitely what caused the pitting damage on the bearing. 

[MICHAEL]
Oh yeah.

[MECHANIC]
So the bearing is under warranty as well. And then same thing on the inside, you can see visual stress cracks here.

[MICHAEL]
Man.

[MECHANIC]
Yeah, so that's the whole.

[MICHAEL]
So you got to replace the whole shaft.

[MECHANIC]
Yeah. Get a new pinion seal, new, all of it.

[MICHAEL]
Woo.
