Jordan,
Is there something on the hub that fits into the cone when assembled? Surely that splined shaft can't be left flopping around inside the cone.

I just had a eureka moment with your comment about the hub.
 Yes there is shaft on the hub that fits into the gap between the splined shaft and the bearing.

Now that my head banging moment is sorted out I managed to get the left side knuckle installed. Using the idea from both Phil and Rob for using the shop hoist, things went very smoothly. The felt retainer bolts are quoted in the manual as being torqued to 30 foot pounds. I did this, for all the other ones I couldn’t find any reference to torque specs so I went wih 50 foot pounds. I also sorted out the safety wire and got the 4 bolts all wired up.

Front drums went back on and then I followed the bearing pre load steps in the manual. After installing the wheels I can feel very very very minor rocking in the right side. The left side has no rocking at all. I’m thinking the drum may not have fully seated on the splines.

Any suggestions on cleaning these up? I’m thinking that sandblasting them will be to hard on them? C8406251-5E59-46A6-A9BF-3A0356CDBB93.jpg 5CFB348F-AC08-41FC-BA0F-937CAFE80DE9.jpg
