Little more progress tonight.

I had to change out the races in the hubs. They stockers came out easy with a punch and hammer. I hit the hubs with a torch and left the new races in the freezer for a couple hours. Went together perfect!!

Next came packing bearings and assembly!!

I could not install the nut and cotter pin. I need to install a couple thick washers so the hole in the spindle aligns with the nut.

Money shot......Henry at ride height with 28" wheels!!
