never got around to using it

cam shaft shims are the right size to shim up the axle spacers if everything is too tight

going to redo bearing on rear wheel of my glide

will set axle up in a vice with appropriate spacers to get everything tight and go from there

pita from start to finish

Only fits wire wheels....bugger! But seems like a very good idea.

Wheel hub bearing adjustable tube spacer for 1973-1999 wire wheels and most custom wheel applications with 3/4" axles.

Why wouldn't it work on a mag wheel?

They have a different spacer and the 16' wheels have a much longer one.

I think the difference is how the spacer is retained in the hub.....it might fit cast wheels but they specifically mention that its wire only.
