    The nut that was on mine when I replaced the original factory hubs was just a regular 36mm nut...and now that i think of it I may have made the mistake of getting some spray-grease on the threads the first time around, so i could easily hand tighten the nut in to the bearing (it was real tight even with a ratchet)..maybe i should take the nut off and put some brake cleaner or de-greaser on those threads and loctite it? Kind of a PITA because I had to borrow a torque wrench that went up to 180 pounds, mine only goes up to 150

    second set of wheel hubs and already i got a bad wheel sensor. Just today the trac/abs/svs lights kick on...I restart and they go away...I back out of my driveway and the second I move an inch forward, the lights kick back on. I guess the myth was right about the cheap wheel hubs! they suck! Can I just pull my ABS fuse to get rid of the dummy lights? I dont care about having ABS but i hate those 3 lights on all the time...the ladies think "oh my what is wrong with your car?!" lol...
