tech day continued... continued... Sat 11/18 (1 Viewer)

[H2o]

We will be wrapping up the tech day Sat. I checked the weather. it will be chillier but no rain so far.... (famous last words)

I put an order in for a few missing (critical) parts and will confirm once i get those. they should be here thursday.

So far, we have the knuckles on with preload and ended the day with not being able to put on the spindle bolts for lack of backer plate or spacer.

I will keep you posted.

Dan, how many spacers do you need per side?

You should have received two rings. One per side.

Did you get extra wheel bearing grease, 2 more tubs should do it?

What all parts did you receive?

Did you get this done?

Only to the rotors. I set the wheel bearing torques to mini truck values: 18 ft/lb inner nut, 33 ft/lb outer lock nut. Spent way too much time chasing/cleaning all the spindle threads and installing the spindle studs from tg (one's gonna need helicoil). The rings were so ineptly formed, that I wasted even more time grinding them out to fit over the spindle base (about 1/32-1/16"). As of when I left there was still locking hubs, brakes, and steering left.

I might have that helicoil - let me know what size you need. A long time ago I had the same problem and bought a helicoil kit for that size - I might still have some of that size left but I'll have to look.

Sebastien's spindle bolt size is 10x1.25. Depth is a bit over 3/4" maybe more. Didn't measure depth. He's H2o here. You might want to pm him.
