I was under the understanding they were bullet proof? Maybe not?? 

I suppose it depends on the condition of the axle. Once mine spun, I think I lost enough tolerance that there was no getting the tight enough to hold. Not being able to use a key didn't help either. My keyways were wallered out terribly. The repair hubs worked great until I put them under heavy load.

What kinda shape is the hub in. Guessing trashed?? 

Oh yeah, the hub is trash, and pretty much was before the "repair".

Interestingly, I put a hub on it so it's a roller and was able to push it (somewhat) for a couple feet at a time as it very lightly went "thub thub thub thub thub" from the hydro. Likely each piston crossing the wash plate and leaking enough to let me push farther. I'll swap this one out and clean up the surfaces when I get the time and motivation :thumbs:
