long story short i blew up a wheel bearing, distroyed spindle and warn lock in hub. replaced all and now when i go to put the new warn hubs in the back end of them brings up on the spindle! I need at least another 1/8" or more to get it in far enough to put big lock ring on. i took it all apart and all bearing races are seated in hub fine. it seems as if the hub/rotor assembly is going to far on the spindle? i dont friggen get it! the trucks a 96 xl and the spindle i bot used is a 95 but i measured every grove and all seems the same as my old one...this just dont make since. anyone got any help?

 

i just a little google search and according to one guy napa has to sizes of inner bearings available?? one happens to be 1/8" LARGER then the other? if this is correct then im thinking i got the wrong bearing...pbr37 is the one i have

 

Bearings and spindle should be basically the same, from 80-96, sounds like something is not seated right. Is the rear seal in all the way?

 

its all in all the way...infact my problem is the hub is in to far... i think Napa gave me the wrong bearings. inner prb 37 and outter prb 35. anyone know if this is correct?

 

problem solved...the spindle from the scrap yard was SUPPOSE To be a 95...which is the same from 94-95-96. but infact it was pre 94 and was deeper. i happened to have a hub from an old 89 here which had the same spindle measurements as the pre 94. put it all together and now works fine!

When i gets a chance i am going to pick up a pre 94 spindle with 5 bolt holes to have for the other side. ford doesnt make the spindle anymore for 95-96 trucks and finding a hub/spindle used here is almost impossible. alot easier to find a scrapped pre 94... and for anyone interested check this out... http://www.supermotors.net/registry/media/728442_1 big thanks to Steve83!!

 

Thats often the song of the junk yards. Glad you got it figured out!
