Default New hub

Put a new bearing hub not to bad of a job if the clip doesn't break when you try to take it off.
Mine did and still had a good hold on the shaft what a soa gun tryin to get it off with screw drivers no way. I had to jam a piece of metal in the hub splines and the side of the clip that was not broke spin the hub til the broke side of the clip jambed in the groove on the shaft to open up the clip hit it with a cold chisel that I ground down. The clip ended up distorted enough that one end stuck up enough that I could get a screw driver under it to pop it off. It took me over 2 hrs to get it off. I had to grind my snap on clip pliers down a little to get the new one back on the tips were a little to long I could have used a little bigger snap ring pliers I think the one I have is 8" that is a strong clip. I cheated I put a jorgerson wood clamp on the pliers to put the new one on it worked real good. I used a nappa hub the more expensive one is this a good one? I saw I timken on line for 300 I read somewhere that they made fords I thought I would order on of those for the other side. The nappa one I used is a spk or skp the guy said the cheap one warrenty is for 1 yr and they come back in 14 months for a new one.
