I have 2 sets of wheels for my BJ7. A set of wires and a set of minilite replicas.<br>
Recently, I am having trouble getting the front wheels tight enough. It seems the thread on the hub is bottoming out in the spinner before it clamps the wheel properly unless I belt the hell out of it to get it tight enough.<br>
The hubs and spinners have been on the car for over a decade. Car is a daily driver.<br>
The obvious fix is to file/machine the end of the hub or replace the spinners.<br>
Anyone else have this issue before.<br>
Cheers<br>
