Bulletime Donating Members 937 Member For: 14y 1d Gender: Male Posted 28/03/20 04:07 AM Share Posted 28/03/20 04:07 AM Angle grinding off the ends just enough ok to refit the centre cap? Should they be replaced/upgraded in pairs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulletime Donating Members 937 Member For: 14y 1d Gender: Male Posted 28/03/20 04:30 AM Share Posted 28/03/20 04:30 AM Also what size is the nut for the wheel hub? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gaz097 Bronze Donating Members 1,752 Member For: 13y 5m 20d Posted 28/03/20 05:12 AM Share Posted 28/03/20 05:12 AM Yeah the need to be cut down for aftermarket wheels. Just heavily deburr the ends to not damage the pack nut when fitting it. Always use a new nut as well. Can do them individualy if only doing axles. Same amount of work either side.Need a deep 36mm socket 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
