i decided to take the hub cap off floyd today to make a start on the pending hub job . hub bolts came out realy nice, threads well oiled all was looking good . took the hub cab off and the first sight which greeted me was the dreaded blue silicone again . which on my explorer is a forwarning u are about to come across one of the previous owners bodges :argh: i cleaned the oil from the end of the nut and found which i expect will be the first of many bodges the hub nut has been welded to the shaft to act as a locking method . i think they went abit over the top with the weld and that they were not very good at it .i am not immpressed :argh::argh::argh::argh::argh:

YEP thats the one andy will have to take the hub cap off floyd to use it as a pattern to make one of my own cheers andy
