Greetings:

I am getting ready to re-install my spindles into the swing arms and have a question for the group think.

Due to the rear wheels having sat for a long period, prior to purchase, there was a visible amount of moisture trapped in the hubs which resulted in some minimal corrosion/pitting on the lower half of the spindle bearing surface – The upper half looked OK and there did not appear to be any corrosion problems – I thoroughly solvent degreased and Scotch Bright cleaned them, but there is some small amounts of minor/spotty pitting left behind.

So the question is….

Should I rotate them 180, so that the “best” side is down?

Don’t worry about it and put them back in same (original) way.

Have fun and mix them all up (next owner wonder why thrust washer keys every which way) Twisted Evil

Thanks in advance for any thoughts you may have on this Very Happy
