Front hubs are the same from 1987 to 2006(or later outside USA). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starwriter Posted June 25, 2012 Report Share Posted June 25, 2012 Actually, the front hubs are different. They may interchange, they may not. The early hubs are a much thicker casting. The ears for the wheel studs are the same thickness out to the end. The later style tapers thinner out to the end. The rotors and bolts are definitely different. The later style uses countersunk bolts. The early style does not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zew Posted November 10, 2013 Report Share Posted November 10, 2013 I bought a set of hubs from one guy off CL and a set of spindles off another guy. I tried mating the two together, and it seems like the hubs won't go on all the way. I have a feeling the hubs are 87-90 and the spindles are 91-06. Does anyone know if the two are interchangeable and will bolt up properly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starwriter Posted November 10, 2013 Report Share Posted November 10, 2013 The later style hubs use countersunk rotor bolts to clear the spindle. So, ya, if you try to run early hubs on late spindles, the rotor bolts will hit. Also, you must use calipers that match the style. Here are the early and late parts. Early is on the right in all pics. Notice how the late (red) hub tapers thinner at the ends of the ears. This is just a cosmetic difference, but an easy way to tell early from late. Also, it's actually, 87-89 and 90-06. 90 was a J arm bike with late style front brakes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zew Posted November 11, 2013 Report Share Posted November 11, 2013 Thank you for the pictures! I definitely have late model hubs. The spindles are late as well because the calipers i have for them are the late style, according to the pictures i've seen. I can't seem to get them to go down all the way though... The spindle shaft doesn't look bent. Also, is there some kind of spacer that should go on the front side behind the castle nut and washer?

Starwriter Posted November 11, 2013 Report Share Posted November 11, 2013 From looking at the threads, I think the hub is all the way on there. This thread shows the spacer and washer that go on there. http://bansheehq.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=171392 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zew Posted November 12, 2013 Report Share Posted November 12, 2013 I see what you are talking about on the front part by where the castle nut should be... Yes, there is a spacer and washer I am missing but If you look at the area between the back of the spindle and the hub assembly, it doesn't look like they're down all the way. the rubber oil seal isn't seated against the spindle. It looks like it should go down a bit more... maybe a 1/2"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87sheerips Posted November 12, 2013 Report Share Posted November 12, 2013 it is a pain in the butt. This is why I countersink all of my rotors and supply stainless flat head hardware to take guess work out of what hub you may have. Sorry my post doesn't apply but I have battled with this issue in the past. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zew Posted November 12, 2013 Report Share Posted November 12, 2013 I for sure have late versions of hubs and spindles... I just can't figure out why it seems like they're not going on all the way. I see a gap between the oil rear oil seal and where it should come in contact with the spindle. The spindle shaft doesn't look bent. I tried swapping either hub with either spindle and it seems to have the same issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bansheesandrider Posted November 13, 2013 Report Share Posted November 13, 2013 The spacer between the bearings is binding on the spindle. Pull the bearing out of the hub and clean the corrosion off the inside of the spacer and also the spindle. Give it a coat of anti-sieze and put it back together, you may need to tap the hub on with a hammer, preferably a plastic dead blow. Put the outer spacer and nut on, torque to spec, spin the hub and retorque and you should be good AFTER you put the cotter or keeper pin in.

docjcwatson Posted November 13, 2013 Report Share Posted November 13, 2013 When you clean the bearing inside the hub. Also clean the spindle shaft. I've been there before man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
