    Help with pressing on rotor hub assembly

    Update, removed inner wheel bearing/race I got from lmc and replaced it with national brand. Provided the clearance needed and as well sounded smoother. Possible original bearing may not have been seated but I checked that half dozen times. I'll take it as a win as a win as now I can install my...

    Help with pressing on rotor hub assembly

    Did a very light emery and the bearing went on with "normal" resistance. Next issue is the pads are super tight on passenger side after installing calipers. I checked that rotor is fully seated, and that the caliper w/ pads slid onto the rotor normally before rotor was installed on spindle. Is...

    Help with pressing on rotor hub assembly

    I was stupid and threw out original bearings before buying new so I'm hoping these are correct. However if I try to slide the bearing by itself Simonton the spindle it goes maybe 1/4" before it gets really tough and I can't move any further. These are bearings I git at lmc so maybe they have...

    Rough country front shock mount

    Here is the original shock setup. Looms like the eyelet extended beyond the bushing. I suppose I could cut an eyelet tube to fit the gap with the RC shock?

    Hydroboost

    Thanks everyone. So the k20 brake pedal is different than a k30 w/ hydroboost? Also, can the stock proportioning valve on my k20 be used which is mounted on the lower front crossmember or does the k30 p. valve which appears to be collated to the M.C. need to be used instead? I really am having...
