wheel bearing tab washer help?!

[Lee Alessi]

anyone ever found one local??? i redid all the bearings 2 weeks ago, and today while installing my lockout hubs, i found out both sides were loose!! anyway i stripped the tab washer key off on one, so now im dead in the water.

anyone?

Break out the welder, weld a tab back on. I would think a big truck shop would have these in stock, rear spindles on a 2 ton Ford are about the same size. I am trying to remember the company that had all the wheel and hub hardware, but it has been 24 years since I worked a parts counter.
Westech, do you remember who they are? You have been in the parts business much more recently than I have.

I always bought them from M-V parts dealers, but I've heard that they're fairly common. Try a truck parts store or shop.

Check out www.usa6x6.com they have all kinds of neat axle stuff. I think they list them for $10.00 each in the Rockwell section.

My local NAPA has them hanging on the wall, as well as a local logging company.

umm dorman makes alot of axle and hub parts also maybe motormite?? CSK ( checker ) has a big hand in motormite they WILL have to order. All in all if a napa or bumper to bumper cant get anything then your in trouble lol. let us know where you find any I really should get some also.
