    Drive car onto trailer. Tow trailer to Bellingham. Drop trailer. Come back in March with an ITA car that can run at the front.

    Seems simple!

    Sounds like that could be an expensive wheel bearing replacement.

    Jim, not to difficult but you will need a pretty good size press. Taking the old one out usually means ripping it apart. Use the old bearing as a press plate for the new one.

    Or do the Andy method.
