It seems like the races are installed on the new rotors, I can get pics need to buy some batteries for my camera. I got one of the old ones out easy so I hope maybe the new bearing will have different races. I could also go back to my old rotors but they are wrapped and garbage in my books.



As long as the new bearings looks like your old ones and the new and old rotors are the same it is puzzling what issue you are running into with the spindle nut. :-k

I know I just sat there and looked at it, when I push the rotor all the way on it sits perfect to where the old ones did not to close to the backing plate, This has me stumped

Lay the old rotor down on the floor next to the new rotor, measure up through the middle to the outer race on each. Is it the same? Sounds to me like you got the wrong rotors.

I will do that tomorrow didn't have time today to get out to the garage :(

but from them sitting on the bench side by side they look to be the same height to the naked eye.

Outer dimension isn't what you are looking for, but the dimension inside where the spindle rides. So, measure up through the center to the outer race and see if it is the same on both. They can look the same but the races can be different, which will cause an issue with where they ride on the spindle.

There not the same, new ones 3 inches bang on the old ones are smaller :evil:

I guess I have 78 rotors and need a new set...ya for being broke guess my old ones go back on for now until I can afford new ones.

Clean up the new ones you bought and return them for the ones you need and pay what little difference there might be. Heck, sometimes you get money back... 8)
