54bobby Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 guys, wtf am i doing wrong? u-joint is in no problem. when i reassemble the axle into the truck, i tighten down the 3 hub bolts, then put the shaft washer and nut on. when i tighten down on the nut, the hub and shaft sieze up and won't spin. i thought it was a bent inner slinger so put it back together w/o it and same problem. also, when i first took the old hub off, while breaking the nut loose the front drive shaft would turn, when i reassemble it it does not. and yes, the shaft is in all the way.

54bobby Posted December 12, 2015 Author Share Posted December 12, 2015 Update, new problem. The mounting hole ears on the new hub rub the inside of the rotor. Went to autozone for a different one (first was rock auto) and same problem. What is correct part num for 87 Comanche hub assembly? just cross referenced hub numbers and the same num. 513107 is for both the wrangler and Comanche. is this correct?

sinkrun Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 Maybe a newer axle (diffrent year) in the truck?? I know they changed hub designs over the years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The factory part number for the 87-89 hub assembly is 53000228. That crosses to the Autozone p/n 513107. So maybe you do in fact have a 1990 or newer axle. See if you can find an 8-digit p/n beginning with 5300xxxx on your old hub. Sometimes it's stamped, sometimes it's not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ComancheKid45 Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 I've had to grind some off of these new hubs, no problems otherwise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
54bobby Posted December 13, 2015 Author Share Posted December 13, 2015 Maybe a newer axle (diffrent year) in the truck?? I know they changed hub designs over the years. the thing i can't figure out is, i put new rotors on her 2 years ago and they worked with the old hubs. if the axle was changed shouldn't i have had the same fitment problem putting the rotor on that was bought using the trucks statistics?

54bobby Posted December 15, 2015 Author Share Posted December 15, 2015 ok, i ground the mounting ears down a bit so the hub now fits inside the rotor. next problem is i bought a new iner axle shaft oil slinger, part #8126232. but it doesn't fit deep enough to allow the axle to be inserted far enough to complete assembly. does this part need to be pressed on?
