1994 b400 4x4
After repacking the bearings the tab on the spindle lock washer (mile marker conversion kit) broke on install.
1)Has anyone found an off the shelf fix to this? This seems to be a manufactures defect due to the tab not having enough meat on it. I see that others have used a welder to add on more material.....
2) Since it snapped somewhere around 140 ft lb all that force was applied to the bearings. Even though they seem fine should they be replaced?
