Re: Front hub with spacer, no shims, and endplay

[Charles & Peggy Robinson <ccrobins@ktc.com>]

    Er, if it has end play with no shims already, shortening the spacer 
is not the answer.  Why not add shims until it locks up, then remove 
enough shims to establish the proper end play?  Sounds like it spun the 
inner bearing and took some off the shoulder.

   Cheers,
