hub question for 82r

[raptor]

looking at my hub today its huge compared to the news ones i got of ebay. the standard hub has like 8 bolts in to the wheel..... and a split pin....

so will my new hubs fit on to my itp 8" wheels? i know my new hubs will fit the axle as its the same splines

You probably got 4-110mm hubs off ebay. As long as they are not 350X or 85-86R, they should work. Your new rims will work if they are 4-110mm.

The ones on your 82R are 4-130mm and sound like the original 2 piece rims (hense the 8 bolts.) 4 of them hold the rim together... the other 4 hold the rim to the hub.

Put the new hubs/wheels on as a unit. Take off the old hubs/rims as a unit.

thanks bruce. great help.

can i ask what you mean by unit?
also what about the split pin?

If you are talking about the cotterpin, it is essential. You have to remove it to take the axle nut off that holds the hub on. Make sure you reinstall one when you put the other hubs back on. Axle nuts frequently work loose, and without the cotterpin, its not a pleasant experience.

will there be someone to put it. when i match my hub up to my itp rim theres no hole or anything for the cotterpin? or will it or take place when i install the new wheels? like a whole in the axle for it??

sorry. best way i can explain :cry:

You gotta tighten the axle nut as far in as you can then back it up only as little as you have to to line up the hole in the axle with the castleated nut !
