You know, it just occurred to me that the hardest part of this spindle project will be painting the damn things. Seems a shame to cover up all the shiny.

I got a little lost in the three options. Are the small bearing Chevy spindles Jeff worked over for Jay set 45/45 or set 45/47?
Jeff, if you are making a list of interested people put me down for 2. I will PM you.

One thing I should also mention concerning the GM spindles. If a person is going to use a spacer between the axle housing and spindle like Brennan did, there would be no need to machine the back side of the GM part since you can just cut the appropriate counterbore in the spacer.

I've been running a set of replacement the crown/omix/whatever bearing hubs for a long time. And one on the front too to replace an OEM unit. No issues. Just in case you don't want to reinvent the wheel.....bearing hub..... |

Weren't you having trouble with the drive flanges coming loose or was that only on the front locking hubs?

Only in the front with the Warn locking hubs. I'm pretty certain it isn't a bearing hub issue. I actually think the new aftermarket one in front is better than the OEM one on the other side.....but that could be long vs short side axle or something too. The rear ones, both aftermarket, stay tight ( once I changed to studs, heavy hex huts, chemical help, and proper torque ). |

I posted this about 3 months back but it is entirely appropriate here. I think these ARP bolts are probably as strong as studs for fastening drive flanges/axle flanges. I'm going to use their bolts for the spindles also.

For me, it isn't the bolt that is the weak link. I think it is the material of the locking hub body. It just eventually deforms which makes the bolt loosen. ( Looks like it is a cast pot metal type material on the Warn hubs to me ) |

Those oldy hubs are nice. The old Warn hub design was better in a lot of ways then the new design. Now the fasteners are basically hidden under the dial flange. You can't really get a socket on them without removing the dial. Very annoying.

I ended up making my own locknuts. Those Dexter locknuts were so balled up and so frikken' hard, that it just wasn't worth messing with them. So, with that knowledge in hand, if I were to make these spindles again (SET47 inner and outer, 1.75-12 pitch snout & spindle nuts), I'd change the snout to a 1.75-16 pitch. It is more & less & better all at the same time.
I sized the spindle nuts for a commonly available 2.25" spindle nut socket. |
