BROKEN down in Winona Mississippi!
Guys i have a first get truck and can't explain what happened... the rear passenger tire broke off... i promise the lugs were torqued!
This is my 1992 D250 that i converted to rear disc. when the wheel came off the weight of not only my truck but the other 1st gen i was hauling landed on the disc setup (65-70mph). The disc, bracket, caliper are destroyed and the hub is pretty chewed up around the outside edge.... Through the grace of God I had purchased a second set of brackets for another disc conversion that has yet to happen. Family that apparently loves me is already on there way to me with the brackets and rest of the tools i need to finish the job. the local parts store is set to open at 8am so i will get started then. here is my question...
The outer edge of the hub is pretty chewed up but is there a way to see if it's good, can i file it down so the edges aren't "rolled" out?
I need the torque spec for the rear hub nut... i know it's torque ?? then back off ?? degrees.
Is there anyone local that wants to skip church and help me fix this?
Happy to be alive in Winona

the minimum thickness of the disk will be cast into the disk. You would need a micrometer to check the thickness. The runout would be about .005 thousands.
As far as grinding it down....You might be able to jack up the vehicle and hold a file flat against it while someone is in the truck at idle.....It would be a temp fix at best.....
I couldn't find the torque spec...sorry.

File the hub flat, then put it on the truck and check the runout. Stand something (a mini-sledgehammer works great) as close to the hub as possible without touching the hub, then rotate the hub and eyeball the gap. If it doesn't look worse than 1/8" it'll get you home, if it's better than 1/16" no need for a new one.
Mark, did the studs break or did the center of the wheel fail?
I'm wondering if the discs are seating all the way on the hub, perhaps the edges of the hubs need to be relieved to get the disc flat against the hub face.
