Your helper has clean hands, hopefully you fired her right after this picture.

you were watching the hands?

i have bad news for you...



did you buy the UCA's used? if not, your uniballs should be lasting longer. im almost a year on mine with very little play. i also hope you used a moly grease on those. otherwise you'll be doing them again in 2-3 months.
