Fitting rear hubs (not adaptors) for knock-off wheels: XJ axle

[KevinW]

I've got a set of these:

Anyone fitted these? - think I understand how to pull off the old XJ rear hub.
I'm less clear about what is needed to fit the new hub, and whether I need to worry about measuring end float etc.

i have a brand new set of polished 17" wheels for those hobs for sale cheap!!

Hi Kevin,

Yes, you would need to check end float and shim as necessary when replacing the hubs.

ERA has a great doc on it - Setting the Hub Carrier axle bearings

Hope this helps!
