Hello from the PNW!

[Bath]

Hello Everyone! I just registered with TRS thinking this would be a fun and useful community to join.

A quick bit about me and my truck...I've had my 1987 Ranger XLT for about 2 years now. I bought it to accompany my Tesla EV, so I get to enjoy (IMO) the best of both worlds wrt vehicles. It's in pretty good condition already and I'm just now making the time to start restoring it to it's former glory.

Right now I'm simply replacing a single tire and am trying to hunt down a 'snap ring' ring that broke when I pulled the wheel off, etc. Fun fun!

Hi Bath, welcome to TRS! You guessed right - this community is both fun AND useful.

Now what's this snap ring you speak of?

Here's a few shots. That half ring there snapped apart when I pulled the hub off the rotar.

Welcome!

That's the hub O ring, someone around here should have dimensions for the O ring for a Dana 28 hub...

Now & then the local Ford parts counter needs a visitor, so I stop in to have a chat. Always have what I need. Especially the weird & rare hard to find parts.

Thank you for the suggestion. I've checked other local auto parts retailers and no luck. I found this on ebay and think it may be what I'm after.
