[Mini] Knuckle joint cups

[John Lieberman]

You guys are great!  With your tips and tricks, it should be a lot 
easier to get the left one out.

One trick I learned after I finally got the right cup out...  A drum 
sander attachment on a Dremel (or any other rotary) tool works great for 
getting rust and other contamination out of the seat before fitting a 
new cup.  And, yes, I did apply a thin coat of grease to the seat after 
I cleaned it out.
