I received my wilwood big brake kit today I've searched for a how to install wheels hubs but haven't really found what im looking for. The kit I got comes with new hubs and separate rotors like the 4x4 setup. Does anyone have a how to write up on how to change the hubs, torque specs, can you reuse the spindle nut, etc. Thanks

 

You can reuse the spindle but you might as well replace it while you can.

 

On the nut it says do not reuse but when I did my cams I reused my cam phaser bolts even though they say they are a one time use bolt.

 

Well I replaced mine but that was mostly because it was rusted and destroyed.

 

its super easy, just did a set this weekend. Do brakes just like normal, caliper off, bracket off, and the rotor just pulls straight off with all the bearings inside it after you take the spindle nut off.

the torque spec is 298 ft lbs. And its a 36mm or 1 7/16" socket. Preferably a 6pt socket.

 

YOU just make it look easy PAT!
He did mine this weekend and it went smooth, if you ever need someone to do it for you and live in the DFW area grab this guy!

thanks again Patrick, brakes feel great.

 

Wanna make a 4.5 hour drive up to arkansas pat?

 

ill be that direction in two months, but not looking to work on my vacation

 

Your truck is 2WD right bankrpt? If so, just remove the rotors and install the new hub like a new rotor, then install the new rotor is actually pretty easy if you've got the tools.

 

Lol im not looking to wait 2 months either I bought a haynes manual today it's pretty much straight forward im not scared lol. Where you going on vacation?
