Bearings & Seals for B-12 wheels

<< < (3/3)

Cranman:
The cast steel wheels are great. Many of  the aluminum wheels have been run loose at one time or another and the holes become elongated. I had mine drilled out with a centering type drill bit and had machined inserts made. Then I welded half inch fine thread nuts to extend the threads in the hub so that I can crank on about 120 or more ft lbs of torque on the grade 8 bolts . I check every year and got a bit more the first year or two but now they stay put. I understand this never was an issue with the cast steel ones.

   These #'s are for the 8 wheels, right ?? Does the seal fit against the short piece of pipe that is used for a spacer on the front three axles ?? Also, can the big washer with the tooth that fits in the groove of the axle be bought at a local parts store ?? I need everything. Any more ##'s ??

BIGDAVE:
OT, those are the #s I used.  Here at my CARQUEST the whole set for one wheel $60.  I am replacing all bearings and seals on right side on Jeff's '48.
