4x4 Front Hub O-Ring - Page 2

racsan · 04-08-2010, 10:06 AM

i got a new set of mile marker hubs that had thicker o-rings, they were on for about a month and i took them off to drill them with the new rotors and both o-rings had broke, so ive peeled the old o-rings off the other set of hubs and am going to try that. would high-temp rtv (the red stuff) do any good? im thinking no, what with the temps that brakes get to. heres a pic of the new rotor and hub after drilling/tapping. no more of those circle clips! (3) 1/4-20 ss screws. going to anti-seize them as well.

I have been trying to find those little clips, but nobody around here can get them... Anyone know of a place I can order them from?

If you have Warn hubs, just talk to Warn customer support. They sent me some for free.
