Post by: willo on August 02, 2012, 09:34:55 PM

FML, is there any easy way to make sure the first hub nut with the lug on it goes in the right place? I see no point in torque-ing (I just go for hand tight ish)it if it needs to be backed off so the lug and the lug locating ring match up.

It also is not very easy in the field covered in mud, any ideas how to make this process easier?? or am I missing something??

Thanks

Willo

I have the stage 8's. In the dark, flashlight in mouth, one pair of snap ring pliers and spindle nuts are installed in twenty seconds. I can't say enough after years of fighting with stock bits.
