    flipping hubs, are these all the seals I need?

    Hubs are flipped! I dont really like the look, but i love the feel of it! Much smoother, turns better too. Have 11.00x20 BF Goodrich Silvertown Intercity tires. Interesting thing is that the speedo is barely off by 4mph. at 2600 rpm I'm going 62mph verified on GPS. Total time was 6 hours...

    flipping hubs, are these all the seals I need?

    well got one done and was about 50% done with the other, when the neighbor came out and told me I was keeping his kids awake! So calling it a night. Rear most axle was full of gear lube, needs to be repacked. vent is probably clogged, as the cork was in place and the seals look fantastic. Will...

    flipping hubs, are these all the seals I need?

    I've had pretty good luck with the clamp style presses in the past... if not I have a large bottle jack and plenty of metal to make a press if I had to. Thanks for the heads up!

    For the front to replace boots and to flip the hubs in the rear. I think all I need for special tools is a slide hammer and 8pt 3" socket. parts list is in the pic

    EPIC Deuce becomes the daily driver

    I blew it up by bouncing off the rev limiter all sunday at the 1/4 mile track, doing burn outs to warm up the street tires. with 151k miles, it was about time something broke. I am going to repair it... more like over build it... port and polish, cam, springs, valve job, new pistons, rings etc...

    EPIC Deuce becomes the daily driver

    Blew up the corvette last night, and only have the deuce as a back up. So it becomes the daily for the winter. Probably going to put the 11.00x20 single tires I have a set just sitting around on to try and get the best mpg out of it. Also going to have to flip the hubs, replace the axle...
