They may have a flat surface for the bolt head to bolt down to but are the inside of the holes tapered?

no, straight drilled holes, no taper at all. But then they after market hubs so I'm hoping this right!

Well had a bit of spare time this saturday so fitted new hubs, Also did the other king pin bearing so now both are new. :)

Only problem I found with the adapter plates where that the holes didn't quite line up, anyone else had this problem?

So I had to open the holes up with a 9mm drill bit not sure whether it was just a case of extra thick galvanizing or not.

Also spraying every bolt that needed doing for the kingpin change and then driving 13miles so everything was nice and warm made a HUGE difference, almost enjoyed doing this side! :laugh:
