got my BF rim with 20mm bearing spacers in Thursday eve..........swapped everything over Saturday and she's ready to roll..............big thanks to BB for measuring his internal spacer. I cut my old spacer down to fit the new bearing/spacer assembly............rock solid!!:thumbup::thumbup:

Did it fit right and snug up good?

sure did amazing thing during the whole process was how easy the tire came off the rim.........I made my famous remark, "off like a prom dress".....................

I normaly have far more trouble with smaller size tires than truck tires. The big ones if they don't want to let go I hit them with the 12lb tire hammer and if that doesn't work I run them over with a fork lift. But little rims don't survive that abuse.:dunno:
