Re: 1976 Dodge D100 (Californian)
Decided to give re-machining the bearing diameter a go as I had nothing to lose so turned up an ally mandrel to do two things, one to be pressed into inner diameter and almost protrude through so I had a concentric diameter to clock up when held in soft jaws on the lathe Well it worked better than I...

Re: 1976 Dodge D100 (Californian)
Cheers Dave Always good to hear another viewpoint with helpful information, but unfortunately the hub is bananaramerd I'm guessing that at some a bearing has let go and worn the bore for the outer cup away although in a very uniform way almost like it's been machined :scratch: Drivers side is 0 .1&q...
