I would take out the brake lights one at a time and see if that fixes the problem. If one of the glass part of the bulb twists and crosses the other wires it might cause the problem. Also look closely at the bulb socket. Might have something shorting in the socket... Just some thoughts.
The best stuff to use today is Pipe Sealant with Teflon made by Permatex. Here is a link http://shop.advanceautoparts.com/p/permatex-high-temperature-thread-sealant-.2-oz-59214/7010664-P
I agree, but there might have been something else. Just a thought. Here is a picture of a "U" shaped tool that can be used with a bench press. http://www.agcoauto.com/content/news/p2_articleid/189
Some of the cars have a plastic injected to retain the caps. If it has the plastic, some heat on the area of the drive shaft will have the plastic squirting out of a hole and then the cap can be pressed off as explained earlier
Small is because I had to make the original photo smaller / resize it to be able to up load it. If you want the original large photo, pm me with your email and I will send it Thanks to everyone for trying to figure this one out.
Just a thought. I had one of the Kodak cameras at one time. I eventually went out and bought a new camera because the picture pixel count is so much better, pictures are much better and easier to use. I think I paid like $90.00 for a very good general use camera.
These are very wise words. I have had wood cut for a couple of projects and the sizes are everywhere. You need wood with sizes (like used on my one truck) 10/4 X 7 1/4 X 12-1/2 ft. I ended up becoming friends with a guy that owns a saw mill and a kiln. The one project takes over 400 board ft of lumber.
If you have some pictures, that would help, but based on what you are describing, I would not have a problem using the bearings. The fingerprint might have been from someone finding they needed a different size. Just a thought.
My Opel wagon replaced a 63 Skylark station wagon with the small aluminum V-8 engine with a 4 barrel carb. Thirsty little Buick. The Opel was the first vehicle that I owned that got over 20 mpg.
The comment about paint quality is right on. I can remember inspecting as a rep vehicles that had "paint icicles" dripping from the bottom of the doors in the 80's, and these were new 10 mile cars.
