Cpp spindle wheel bearing issue

Hey guys I got cpp lowering spindles and cpp disc conversion for the front. I have 2 issues I'm concerned with.


1) The hole for the Cotter pin is nowhere near the castle nut. It's at the front end of the spindle so it wouldn't keep the castle nut from backing out.

2) The castle nuts has to be so tight that the wheel won't spin. If I back it off enough for it to spin the bearing isn't seating in the race properly and there is wobble. Did I get some junk parts or am I missing something here?

I've jacked with this over a hr. Done numerous times before with no issues on other vehicles

Re: Cpp spindle wheel bearing issue

Did you get the model specific one for 67-72 or the 73-91 spindles?

Re: Cpp spindle wheel bearing issue

Are your rotors 1" or 1.25" thick?

1.25"

i was thinking about trying new wheel bearings. Would i just go to oreillys and be able to get the correct ones if i ask for 71-72 c10 and have it match up to the cpp spindles?
