i have a king pin hi pinion ford dana 60. i am upgrading to 35 spline outers.
it has the factory ford 5 stud knuckle on factory c's. i have the dura solid 35 spline stubs with new spindles ready to go on. it seems like the yoke area of the new stubs is too large to fit through the ford knuckle. the stubs dwarf the spicer stuff! i dont wanna take the knuckle off to install it. it would make trail repairs very problematic! the 35 spline spicer inner fits through the knuckle fine. i was told to notch the knuckle to make it fit through. i will probably do that. two 1/4 inch notches should make it fit fine. i dont think it will hurt the strength of the knuckle too much.
anyone else had to do this b4??
