I am hoping that I can prevent someone from having the same trouble that I did. I have a 98 2-wheel drive Ranger with 196,500 miles on it. Yesterday, I had a flat tire on the right front and it was the first time that I have had to change a tire on my Ranger along the side of the road. I have had several soft tires and even some flat ones but I never had to put the spare on. Until yesterday, I was always able to repair the tire in my yard or put more air in it to get it home where I could fix it. The spare didn't fit the front hub. It was the factory spare tire too. My truck has factory aluminum rims and a steel rim on the spare. I had to put new rotors on last year and, apparently the outer diameter of the aftermarket hub was bigger than the original because there was just no way that the spare was going on that hub. It wasnt even close. I ended up putting my spare on a rear wheel and using the rear tire on the front. I had to change two tires for one flat. If any of you have ever used CarQuest brake rotors, you might want to try your spare before you end up changing two tires.

 

I had differen problem on my aero. I could not pull out rear wheels becouse of rust. My rear tires were worn but never flat for all its life and never were removed. I had to nock it with hummer to pull out.....

 

Thats good to know, thanks!!!!!!!

Pablo-UA it's good to seee your not in prison. I figured Putin would throw you in the pin for driving a vehicle built by an american company ha ha Putin is sending some of his navy to South America for war games. Not sure how many will come back. Hard to pilot ships on crack and cocane ha ha. God blesss and have a great day buddy!!!!

 

Hello! I think it is a big mistake to start weapon race and cold war under the heavy economical conditions. Global economy is not ready for cold war. War games are very expencive and as result they may got finantion crisis, default-2009 and inflation. This small Medvedev, looking like a nutcraker, no he is not nutcraker, he is Klein Zaches... he may lead Russia to collaps, but very danerouse collaps. So we are to pray Jesus to give Russia economical crisys as soon as possible becouse it will stop Medvedev and Putin before they destroyed Russia....

He wants to increase nuclear arsenal, buld new ships... carriers.... I know that USA is not ready now to build new gen. carriers... Just look over internet to know how many $$$$ is one SU-27/32/34?

From other vievpoint people do not want to go to army in Russia. They see that Medvedev can start new conflict. Just look what a hell's going on now!!! Why the last aircraft crash is so wierd? On bord of this Boeing 737 that was down in Perm was generall Troshev, who really won the Chechen war. I think terrorists could not kill him in air and decided to down plane and kill every passanger. How islamists say, yeah we killed many people, but innosent person died in confict will be in paradase immidiatly. So it is not so bad that innosent civiliand died.

 

I hear you brother and agree 100%. Russia had come so far, to be turning back now. Let freedom ring for all of Gods people where ever they are, "God bless"!!!!

 

Anyway Russian people tried taste of fredom now. They know now what is that and they will try to protest. But Russians protest too late usually and as Pushkin said, Russian rise is very cruel, sensless and pitiless. If somethin wrong average russian drink vodka, some of them like drugs, and life seems better, they look at all bad things with irony, but if vodka and drugs do not help, it is time to rise like in 1917 and 1991. As result, country is fully destroyed. Having realli wise monarch, gen.secretary ore president, Russia is really good country. Good and reach. When Russia lived well? With Peter the first, Catrina the 2nd, Alexandr-II, in Soviet era with wise Breznev....

Chrushev is cosidered to be one of really democratic leaders of USSR, but it is not true. It was the only way to get power - to blame Stalin. Else Beria could be next general secretary. by the way Berias program was much better. He wanted to join Germany, he wanted Russia to join NATO, to correct all Stalin's mistakes. May be he realised that he had to many sins.....

But Russia have no democratic system preventing bad pilitics to be presidents. Yes, US system did many mistakes too, but our system did more mistakes for last 5 year then US system for last 20.

BTW! do ypu really belive Russians having alternative would vote for president ooking like hydrocephalus...... Ouh my God, please fogive me for it!!!!
