98 trooper with TOD, just replaced hubs with new superwinch hubs. ($56 on ebay <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />) First wheel installation went real smooth. When I took of the Hub on the second side I noticed a very thin shim between the snap ring and the hub <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" />. I checked the first hub I had pulled off and sure enough there was a shim held by the grease still attaced to the hub. On the second hub I tried to fit the shim in behind the snap ring but with the shim on the snap ring would not go all the way into the slot. I didn't have any bolts that would fit in the shaft to pull it out and using hands would not budge it any further.
Should the shims be on there or are they to be used only if there is extra play in the shaft?
