I've just done a rear end and I used good hard sleeves, original rollers in good nick (about .001 to .0015" wear) and new hubs. I'm expecting good service.
The hub races look good,they do have the hub saver races .I would rather have new hubs but that won’t fit my budget.I bought new bearings from Bert’s and Steve reports good service from them.By the way Steve is a fantastic guy to deal with. Best regards, Dennis
