What is the proper course of action here guys? Try to return them? Sand them? Exchange them and hope for better? Or try different bearings? I bought them back in the beginning of July. Not sure what the return window looks like. Would you say these are cheap Chineseium and i need more name brand?

I just noticed you're a neighbor in Sacramento.
Maybe we can meet and figure it out.
I might have a set of spindles on a shelf that we can use to confirm that the bearings are good
Well holly crap. That would be great. Ill try to figure out how to send and receive private messages on here. Don’t laugh to hard at my mess of a situation i have going with this truck. Im just trying to figure it out as i go.
I will send you my phone number
So I noticed that this application is calling for different bearings than what i have. The inner bearing i have is lm501310 which came out of a box labeled TK4894.
That sounds correct. I see it says Solid as the manufacturer. I have some dana 60 hubs from them and the seem to be good units.
If anything I would hone the i.d. of the bearing instead of the spindle. I wonder if the bearing would slip on if you warmed it up in the oven but I know that would melt all your grease out.

Yeah, that could definitely be the issue
When I search Tk4894, it shows a wheel bearing kit from torque king.
That LM501310 is a 1 5/8 inside diameter outer bearing cup.
- Sounds like your spindle measures correctly. I would get these and try that
- For use with inner bearing #LM104949 and race #JLM104910.
WTH. I just cleaned off the bearing and its the right ones. Now they are fitting on. Super tight and need to be perfectly straight but with some twisting the go on. I don’t know why this wasn’t working out before. Thank you for the input guys. This is embarrassing.
Does the grease seal fit over the shoulder of the spindle? Maybe that was holding you up?
That's what I asked earlier
Cool, yes it should be a very tight tolerance and has to be perfectly straight going in.
