That sucks brotha, should you be on the safe side and replace both fronts instead of just 1?

I wonder where you got all that debris from . Wheeling maybe?

 

Big tars....

 

there is always a benefit and a drawback with them big tires

 

35's, heavier duty suspension, heavy bumper, bumping up the big rocks at RC. These all contribute to wheel bearing failure. Plus, Ryan's truck is an '06. Wheel bearings were due to explode. To bad it happened on a late Sunday night.

Everything OK now @Sub-Zero ?

 

Thanks for everyone's input last night with the wheel bearing

 

Yea I'm gonna go with the cause being 90k miles. Tars have only been on for ~6k. Not long enough to see serious issues imo. The debris is from the bearing itself I believe.

Yea I'm gonna swap out the hub with Tim's spare and replace his with one from 636

 

I'm gonna replace this one and keep a spare. Gonna wait on passenger side for now

 

I replaced both of mind after swapping to 33s. Due to the fact that I drive 26k miles a year, I will install new bearings every two years as preventative maintenance. Hopefully that keeps me from having an issue like Ryan's.


Plus will still carry a spare

 

Hey guys. What's the best way to shorten the lugs on my wheel spacers? They're long by about 1/8". My new lug nuts and my wheel locks won't seat. My OEM lugs nuts work fine.

Also, the three lugs on my BFF Tire mount is also long by 1/8".

Cutting wheel on my angle grinder was what I was thinking.

 

Swap out the studs with shorter ones, but that is kind of a pain and the ass.

 

This ^^^^^^^

 

^^^ this but a nut might work better

 

Lloyd knrw what Joe meant...wiseass.

 

And get a cheap nut from hardware store. Use it to guide cutting wheel.

 

I know, I just had to be that guy. That's why I'm here lol @stairgod

 

Our own Oz Jr....

 

Hahaha

 

Ok. I'll go with these ideas. Cheap NUT threaded on as a guide and to deal with the cut-off burrs.

That's gonna be a lot of lug studs (27) that I'll be cutting. I'll do one wheel at a time. Should be done by early spring.

 

But my badass 60 v Dewalt grinder with a fresh cutting wheel goes through EVERYTHING like a hot knife through butter!!!!
