I have a birf eliminator kit, the back surface will need to be machined to work with the kit. I would much rather use a new piece if it will need to be machined to work.
Is it a redline kit????

Yep.
Hmm this explains why notstock won't run anything over a 33" tire.. I forgot about the birf elim kit... :fawkdancesmiley:
can i ask why you went with an eliminator kit? uses warn hubs? or yotas hubs?
id originally thought about doing the same. then i hear it uses the warn hubs, which are nowhere near as strong as the aisin hubs, and a u-joint..that can get dry, and break just as easy as anything.
thats when i decided that it wasnt for me...

He's had that redline kit since before bobby got into yota axle's..... :;
ah, that makes sense.
every broken anything? im assuming YES, since hes looking for spare parts....

You are always such a big help WT, I just don't quite know how to thank you.:fawkdancesmiley:
The bearing surface on the spindle hub is toast, there is .005 play causing wheel wobble hence the need for a new hub. Nothing else has failed ...yet. I just don't have 600+ for longs at this point. This is one of the first 5 Redline kits made. I was a crash test dummy. The spindle hub has 300,000,000+ on it since it was in this truck.

When you say bearing surface are you talking about the brass bushing he pressed into the spindle? If so i could make ya a new one..or several.
With that said, I will start a caption this thread:cheer:

Actually Dan why don't you just have a chat with my buddy bunk there... I think he may know a thing or 3 about doing machine work.... My money is he could do what needs to be done at a rather reasonable rate.. :;
aah..yer ****ed...Kinda like when we were wheelin at the top of 676 and keiths high performance ifs mods fell apart!!:redneck:

:haha: High performance mods
My plan is to find a spindle hub & have the backing plate machined so I can run this until spring when I have enough to buy longs. Shouldn't be that hard. Just wanted to buy 2 new spindle hubs & have them machined to work. I plan on giving this kit to my daughter for her truck in the spring.

:haha: :haha: :haha:
you could just have it repaired. would be nothing for a decent machine shop to take care of.
less than a NEW spindle, thats for sure.
BUT...theres got to be used spindles that are in good shape out there.
isnt there a few yota fronts in the FS section? without a 3rd, theyre cheap....also cheaper than a new spindle.

I dont think wearing down the bearing surface for your wheel bearings counts as breaking anything inside the axle for this time around, haha.
How would you plan on repairing the wheel bearing surface of the spindle? Its machined to a diameter for the inside of the bearing/race. If its scored, you could only make it smaller by machining/grinding/polishing it down smaller, and since he said its already too small causing a wheel wobble... I guess you could machine it and then make a custom sleeve like a speedy sleeve for it, but I think finding a new/used spindle would be easier
He wants a new spindle because the wheel bearing area is scored from what I understand. The point is that after he gets a new spindle to solve that problem, it needs to be machined as shown so that it will work with the birf kit he has.
I would try and find used ones myself though, and just have those machined to work. I dont see why it would make a big difference other than being clean or not since the brass bushing on the inside of the spindle is changed to a different one anyway (at least I think it is). So, as long as the wheel bearing surface is good on the outside of the spindle, the threads are good for the wheel bearing nuts you should be ok since you dont re-use the Toyota brass bushing (right?). There are no other "wear" surfaces on the spindles, so new or used shouldnt matter too much IMO.
Then again, what do I know. I run 30 spline Longfields :fawkdancesmiley:

thats easy. they build it up with weld, and machine it back to spec. VERY easy.I dont think wearing down the bearing surface for your wheel bearings counts as breaking anything inside the axle for this time around, haha.

but i agree finding a good used one would be the way to go.
im curious..how did the spindle get worn..THERE?
bearings were loose? the race would have to be spinning to wear it...
