I did that and checked for any “wobble “ or other movement, i also was able to pull off the drum and check, all good with the hub.  I took the spacer off and drilled out the holes to 1/2, replaced everything and took a digital measurement…less than 1 degree difference!
back to driving!!

OK. If you jack the mini up with wheel on, turn the wheel 180 degrees ( bottom to the top)  What happens?

I haven’t been able to pull the drum and check the hub, but it all looked good when i reinstalled..i did torque the castle nut to 60 foot pounds a it said to in the manual…i also did notice that the spacer rocked lightly while I was tapping it back in…i it possible I need up the studs somehow?

1st pull your brake drum and look at your hub. Is the hub sitting squarely on the stub axle? Did you torque the nut?

Hi All, Question for your brilliant minds,
Ive replaced the drivers rear studs from standard to 78 mm ones to be able to use a spacer( i had rubbing on the shock and tire). After reassembling the hub, brake drum, etc… the wheel is now pitched at about 4 degrees….what did i do wrong?
I’m  very new to working on her and I have to teach myself everything, i appreciate the knowledge here!
