so i got a stage 5 axle set from DSS, they come with the axles and hubs and studs. i have a 92 civic cx. the DSS hubs don't have threaded holes for the disc mounting screws (the 2 little ones that hold the disc to the hub). did i get the wrong hubs or what am i supposed to do?

 

just dont use the screws

 

then how will the discs be mounted to the hubs?

 

The caliper will keep them on when the wheel is off. When the wheel is on, the rotor will be held flat against the hub.

 

that sounds dangerous. have you done that?

 

ALOT OF AMERICAN CARS DON'T EVEN HAVE THOSE SCREWS. FOUR LUG NUTS IS MORE THAN ENOUGH TO KEEP EVERYTHING NICE AND TIGHT.

 

nothing dangerous about it. the screws are only there for ease of installation. the wheel and lugnuts are what actually hold the rotor to the hug.

 

ok sounds good. thanks guys.

Nope have been running those for two years no problems and brakes work fine.

 

the screws are there to hold the rotor on while going down the assembly line. saves peoples toes

 

I never put the screws back into my cars.

What he said, we never had any problem with it

 

i called them up about this along time ago. I can confirm for you that those are only there to hold the disc on when you pull of the wheels off and work on the suspension parts. If you think through how everything works and when you tighten up you wheels onto the hubs, the rotors are then tightened onl....... by the way, did you have any problems putting on the bearing onto the hub? for some reason when i did mine, my bearings just slid right on it, i thought you were supposed to press it in...

 

i havent got that far yet. the old hubs do need to be pressed out and new ones pressed in the knuckle correct?

 

the new bearings will need to be pressed into the knuckle, then press the hub into both.

either tour hubs were very worn, or you had the wrong bearing/ hub combo. either way, no good.
