Pulled the hubs on my 95 3500 4x4 over the weekend to replace rotors and ball joints for the first time in 250,000 miles. Due to 14 years of rust/gunk and despite 2 days of soaking with Liquid Wrench, the first 1/4 inch of threads gaulded on each stub axle.

I'm thinking either turn the 1.125 threaded portion of the shaft down to 1 inch and rethread, or have a .25" spacer made so the castle nut tightens down on good threads. Of course the carter key hole will need to be redrilled if the second option is used.

Just wondering, does one solution offer an advantage over the other.

And before anyone suggests buying new stub axles, I haven't found any in stock. Haven't checked with the dealer and hope it's not necessary.

Thanks,

RR
