Post by crankycruiser »

This is true and have done on many times my collet seat cutter was made compact enough so i could do front hubs as well. The hubs need to be in good condition as if they have been beaten around to much to get the collets out its not the best for modifing.On my 80ute i have 100 seies FWH's so i hade to change the hub studs P.C.D. from 90-92mm so the hubs are std but the others ive modded have had no problems at all.
