: where to buy new "O" rings for my Hummer wheels? 3/4tonYJ 01-25-2002, 05:56 AM well i posted awhile back about my hummer wheels leaking down, i didn't think it was the o rings but it is...... i've got 2 holding air good, and 2 have very slow leaks so any one have a source for some if these?.....thanks 3/4tonYJ 01-26-2002, 02:18 PM any idea? AIRZUKI 01-26-2002, 02:35 PM my brother got his from a Chevy dealer they are the distributors for all the new hummer stuff (mind you he has the 12 bolt style rims (radial?) the Orings are smaller for the 8 bolt (early) style...) you would likely need to get those custom made or fine military surplus ones...... Cajun 01-26-2002, 06:50 PM Sorry, I don't have an answer for you, but I've been wondering the same sort of thing. I've got a set of the military 8-bolt beadlocks and was wondering if you could run a bead of silicone (sp?) sealant in addition to or instead of the o-rings. Yes? No? WOLF359 01-26-2002, 06:52 PM Civilian or military? I called the local Hummer dealer, they have them in stock for the civies. Yours should too. If you need the part#, I can get it. Tim. mike 01-26-2002, 08:57 PM I think hes got military wheels. I know thats what Im getting. So a supplier would indeed be good :D jslamerman 01-27-2002, 10:59 AM How do you guys solve the offset issue, I have a set of military rims(jus given to me by one of the guys at the base, with the old 36s on them), but they hit the steering arm!! Do you use custom steering arms, or recenter the wheels???? PYRO 01-27-2002, 01:09 PM -snip-Do you use custom steering arms, or recenter the wheels????-snip- You can do either, I have custom arms but Wayne Hanson is making centers that can be welded in at whatever backspacing. 3/4tonYJ 01-27-2002, 03:46 PM i've got a set of the military wheels (with 8 bolts holding inner/outer together) that i'm looking for some "O"rings for, i got some, just have 2 slow leakers out of my 4 to deal with the backspacing i'm going to be using 1 1/2 inch spacer up front only, will be installing the studs tomorrow in these http://bbs.off-road.com/wwwthreads_uploads/9-665510-8lugspacers1.jpg jslamerman 01-27-2002, 05:05 PM I havent been on the inside of mine yet (cant use em yet!!), i assume they have that military mag. beadlock (they are HEAVY), I would love to run these, there is just no cheap alternative to fitting them!!!! I think I am gonna use them on my Toy, when I go to 1 ton axles, have custom arms made, and use the wheels not only for the beadlocks, but to effectively"narrow" the axle, well, at least the trackwidth without expensive machine work. That is not in my near future though, $$$$$ | |
