It was warm today. I lifted the front wheels to spin. My mechanic stethoscopes were both broken. I found an old broom stick and cut it down for use. The brakes made wheels hard to spin fast. I could only hear brake pads rubbing. With no weight on, my results may be false. Next week, it's due for a shifter seal replacement. I'll ask the shop to test it in drive while it's on a lift.

I have two FAG front bearings. One rear hub to use if needed. I pulled out the old manual impact. It's nice and sturdy. Harbor Freight has a manual screw driver set for $8. I may go get it to add to my tool collection.
