found good set of single wheel hubs traded my dually hubs for them but i have to swap them myself what tools should i take and does anyone know which hub socket or wheel bearing wrench to use? have part number? any help thanks Scott

that's not to hard you will need a hub socket but check what type of hub nuts you have 60's came with both 4 or 6 slot nuts/forums/images/icons/smile.gif you will also need a set of snap ring pliers.theres not much else to it. but if you plan on using yer old rotors you will have to remove them from the hubs, that is simple but can be a bitch if they are old and rusted. but thats nothing some PB blaster and an impacked wrench won't fix. but if you plan on using the dually rotors the stud hole will have to be reemed out to except the new SRW hub studs.

Sent you a PM.

BTW, it helps the parts guys at the stores if you take one of the spindle nuts with you to find the correct socket. /forums/images/icons/wink.gif

BTW are you getting new rotors in yer DRW to SRW hub swap or are you reusing yer DRW rotors.

 

[mudduck]

i will use the rotors that came with the single wheel setup, is there a difference in the rotors?

 

[beater74]

theres not much of a diff. only on the DRW the rotors are bolted to the hub and on the SRW hub they use press in studs to hold it together. i'm using my DWR rotors and have to have the holes reemed out to except press in type studs.
