I have an 85 C10.
I bought a set of spindles from Chassis tech.
I figured while I was at it I might as well get new Rotors, bearings, seals etc...
Upon assembly there is an issue and Im not sure if the Spindle is wrong or if its the rotor etc..
It seems like the slot in the threaded portion of the spindle isnt cut deep enough so the outer washer is bottoming out before the nut is tight enough to hold the bearing properly.
I also bought a new washer and nut kit and it looks like the castle nut will be below the hole for the cotter pin making it useless at stopping the nut from turning.
It really looks even 1 washer thickness would cure the issue so its close but not correct.
Maybe just tolerance stacking ?
The spindles, bearings and rotors are both the 1.25" variety.
A-3 and A-5 bearings.
Any ideas ?
