send me the "paperweight"!

Detroits (carrier style) are rebuildable. I broke mine when my inner and outer hub gears blew stripping the outer splines on the long (bobbys hub gear so all was warranteed, Thanks Bobby!) it sheared 2 teeth off of the inner locking mechanism on the detroit and wedged the driver side "open". Part was about $180 from eaton but better than having to replace the whole thing!
