has anyone 'water proofed' thiers? any way to do it? water ruined both mine this weekend. they are only 6-7 months old.
The biggest killer seems to be the hub nut not torqued correctly. A lot of people go to "tight" which is not tight enough, and they wear fast.
That, or buying cheap unit bearings. Buy Timken or don't bother.
Sure, they do. I've used both Timken and SKF unit bearing hubs on my 94.They dont make timken for composite unit bearings (pre 99.5).. If they do PLEASE point me in the right direction Cal!!!
I stand on the end of an 18" breaker bar and bounce up and down a bit, that usually feels about right.
It's 175 ft lbs on the axle nut, IIRC.
