I haveB the hub spacer kit from TRF (w/o up rated stub axles).B B  The old
bearings 
are Timken and in good shape, so will be re-used, even though I have
new bearing 
kits from TRF. 

B 
Okay, drop spacer into hub, installB inner
bearing on race and oil seal on hub.B  
Install hub on axle.B  NO shim,
B insert outer bearing into hub,B B  D washer, 
torque castle nut to 50 lbs as
per instructions.B  Hub spins okay with no real 
movement fore/aft,
up/down.B B B  

B 
The other side is stockB B for now, no spacer, castle nut
torqued to 10 lbs.B B  Bit 
tighter than the other side, but good I
believe.B B  Car driven last year like 
this.
B 
I donbt want to go any
looser with hub, so am I okay with NO Shim?

this.
