    front hub races

    does anyone know if the races normally come with the front hub and bearings ? i ordered new from fcp.
    i'm going over the front end and just wanted to make sure i'm not missing anything. i have the old races off and will be keeping them.

    If I'm understanding what part you're talking about correctly then yes, they will come with the new hub/bearing. They're not really meant to be replaced separately if you could even find them that way. They come apart just because of the design of a double row roller bearing. Nothing holds it to the bearing aside from being wedged against spindle.

      thanks
      i had one come off when i pulled the hub. the other stayed on the spindle and i pulled it off later. i've seen some instances where folk re-used them and others where it looked to have come with the hub and bearings. gonna play it safe and hang on to them til i get the new parts to be safe.
