Starting to put my five lug conversion back together and discovered I have two different wheel hubs. I didn't realize just how different till I started installing them. The one on the left has subtle differences. It is almost 1/4 of an inch smaller at the outer flange diameter. The wheel lug holes are the correct bolt pattern but are closer to the outer edge of the hub flange. The not so subtle difference is, when installed, it sits in too far and rubs... badly. To make things worse, I bought them so long ago, I don't even remember who I bought them from. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) Looks like maybe a trip up to Parts Heaven. I wonder now, if I can tap the hub out without damaging my new wheel bearing? I know. I know. I should have checked them more carefully. Sheesh! You guys are starting to sound like my wife.
