Hello to all and special thanks to those who shared their knowledge with me when it came to changing the right rear leaking wheel seal on my B2100, especially North Idaho Wolfman. I finally completed the job and no leaks!
This is what's great about this forum having access to those with first hand experience who are so willing to share.....
Greatly appreciated!
My concern now is the pin holes on the axle shaft. As the attached pic shows the oblong pin hole on the shaft is where my wheel was mounted which left the end of the shaft flush with the outside wheel hub when mounted. My question is,
Can I safely mount the wheel further out on the shaft to avoid this hole and use the next pin hole outward thus obtaining a wider rear wheel stance or should I move the wheels back inward??? If I move the wheels further outward on the shaft then the end of the shaft will not be flush with the hub and just not sure if that would be safe. I guess the main question is, how far can the wheels be moved outward safely???
The cost of a new axle shaft at the dealership is astronomical at $515.00 so that's not an option!
Thank you much in advance and any response will be appreciated!
