    Wondering if anyone in here has experience pressing the hub into the knuckle on this spindle before I take it on and what it takes website says it takes more then what most can do at home…

    Remains to be seen I bought the tires and wheels the rest came along
    The tricky part is getting everything lined up.
    A shop that does this should have the custom fixtures already be able push them right in .
    It is to easy to break things and end up back at square one!

    I have not pressed any Fabtech spindles but its still just a spindle with a bearing right?. If you have a press, press plates and sleeves to R&R a stock one; I can't see it being that different. You have to have the right tools.
