Hub help

[fezza]

I bought some new alloy hubs from Hi-Spec,theres a couple of things im not sure on

 

1.Does the rubber dust seal go in the back of the hub?

 

Its quite a tight fit,do i grease it up and stuff it in there

 

2.Which way round does the dust seal go in,in the pic the open/hollow side is facing out,does that make sense ?

 

3.How tight do i do the hub nut up,do i just nip it up then just put the crown thing on with the split pin?

I did it this way i did it,probably be corrected, seal goes on back with spring facing into the hub, i did mine up by tightening it right up then loosening it off till they turned.

the little wire ring faces inwards , wd 40 the gently tap in

So from the pic i need to turn the seal around then yes

You'll have to grind away the inside edge of your wheels centre hole a touch or the wheel will jam on the hub when you tighten the wheel nuts up . You can't get the foooookers off again for love nor money . Spent an hour with a plank of wood and a foooooking big hammer getting my wheels back off !!!!!!!

Really dont like the sound of that,i did think the centres looked quite chunky compared to standard items,you'd think they would take that sort of thing into account when designing these things,does anything we buy fit right

[Guest MK1gaz]

does anything we buy fit right

NOOOOOOOOOOO IT FOOOOOOOOKING DON'T !!!!!!!!

How much did you have to take off the wheels Gaz?? did you use the trusty angle grinder

[Guest MK1gaz]

We used a dremmel and just rounded off the inside edge of the wheel where it hits the hub centre bit . You can't see it from the front of the wheel or anything
