Front hubs

[Tony01GT]

Yea so I take off my front hubs to press in 3 inch studs for my skinnies, and was going to get new pads while i was at it, and I clean the hub in my solvent tank at work, press the new studs in, and was going to go repack the bearings with grease and the mother f****rs are a solid sealed deal. Now i need to buy new front hubs for $70 a peice!! Are there any aluminum hubs out there? I figured while I have everything off I should check into it. These things gotta weigh at least 7-10 lbs.

I got new ones from ford for $77 and pressed in my 3 inch studs today, but it still pisses me off that I need to buy new hubs because i cleaned the old ones with solvent. whatever happened to taking a bearing out and re-packing it.....God am I a winer!haha

its called progress. the sealed kind are more reliable and dont have to be serviced.

did'nt you notice that it was held on by one bit nut and came off in one peice when you took them off.. the old pack em your self kind the outer bearing came off in your hand and then you put the nut back on and pull and the seal and inner came off..
