Anyone running spindle mount wheels for a sandrail (LP Front End)? The bearing sets I bought are two different sizes, I'm assuming for inner and outer bearings. Problem is, when I put the wheels on the spindles with the linkpin spacers, I only have about half a nut's worth of threads left to put the wheel nuts on. Does this sound right or should all the bearings be the same size? I'm using the spindle clamp nuts rather than the dual wheel nuts.

Make sure that you have the old inner bearing race off of the spindle. It may look like part of the spindle but it should come off with a little heat. The spindles should look like these. The shoulder on the inner side of the spindle should be exposed about 3/4"

I'll check it tonight.

Thanks.
