Has anyone else had this problem? I just replaced the front wheel bearings during
a drum brake rebuild. The new bearings are definitely correct (same mfg, same part num).
Now when I reinstall the drum, I can't thread the spindle nut on far enough to clear
the hole for the cotter pin (and that's without the cheesy tin castle nut).
Has anyone else run into this?
The only solution I can see at this point is to take a standard 3/4" nut
and drill a set of holes through it to turn it into a sort of castle nut.
