To all:
I'm currently in the process of renewing both rear axles replacing all CV joints, boots, and bearings. I'm at the point where I have the the hubs (four bolt) out and want to know what I can do to them to provide myself 5 bolt options in the future. Here are some of my thoughts: 1) Drill and tap five bolt pattern into hub flange. This seems weak to me. Not enough wheel bolt engagement on the five bolt pattern. 2) Drill five bolt pattern, spotface rear of hub and install threaded boss to add thread depth to match four bolt pattern. Probably press fit with keeper keys to prevent rotation. 3) Forget about options and reinstall existing hubs unchanged. Personally I like idea two the best. What do you think?? |
