Magnum rear wheel hubs By mike6736 (Read 736 times)

Has anyone had to change the roller bearings and the spacer out in the rear hubs of the Magnum? Wow...I pulled mine and the spacer is pitted from the roller bearings and there is a lot more play in the wheels. I am thinking of putting different bearings in and replacing the spacer sleeve and the bolts, not chino but standards. Jim you have any thoughts on this?

I don't know when I will get to pulling the hubs again. It is back together and am using it just local. I will have to set something up with a local shop later as I am leaving next week for AR. Right now I think I will have them bearings replaced and the sleeve and bolts. This will take out all the ovement in the wheels when done. Should make one huge difference in the ride and vibratons. Will get pictures when I pull them, easy to see the damage from the bearings

You will need to pull the bearings and either get a number off them or measure them with a micrometer and cross them to a US Bearing. Auto parts stores has a cross reference book and should also have a size to number book. I do it all the time instead of ordering and waiting on snail mail.

Jim that is what I am thinking..May go over size on the bolts if I can get a sleeve to match both. The stuff they put in there is all to soft material
