I had a problem with Vandals loosening lugs on my drivers rear wheel. Now i have to replace the hub due to stripped threads, When i pulled off the hub bearing came with it...and 3 steel rings, 2 small and one that has a beveled center only on one side....my question is when i go to reassemble the new hub how do i put those back on the axel...when they fell off when I pulled the hub off, and icouldnt record the order they were in. I have pics of it....I think they are spacers....but i just want to be sure....It was suggested that I post my question here because of your past helpfullness......

thanks,

scott

Yo Steve,

Give a careful read in the relevant sections of the ERA manuals I pointed you toward.

You'll find those spacers are used to set the bearing end play and must be exact in thickness - there's an iterative process used to get the correct thickness of those shims.

Regards,

Tom

i was going to just use the same ones, I just need to figure out what order and what side that beveled one goes. Im thinking the thicker beveled one goes towards the axel follwed by the 2 smaller spacers, then the hub. Are the studs just pressed in like normal lug nut studs?....they look like they have threads in the holes where the lug studs go into....

Yo Scott,

From the answer I gave ya a couple days ago:

Quote:

Is the hub bad?

If it's the studs they are screw-in for the stock Jag hubs. The thread is the same as the outer portion - 1/2-20 if memory (?) serves. You need to grind or chisel off the staked-over area on the inner or differential side and unscrew them.

New studs are (fairly) readily available as they fit a whole bunch of years.

The hard part is re-staking the inner ends after the new studs are screwed in. Takes a pretty big press or hammer
