Dhirocz, why would you take out the spacers? Run the spacers especially if you are reusing the bearings that came from a hub with the spacer in it. The bearings sets for a preset hub, (with the spacer) are of a tighter tolerance then a normal bearing set, they are meant to be run with the spacer and torqued to 300ft/lbs. The bearing sets for use in a preset hub have different numbers. Bearings for spacer hubs from General and Hyatt have a “PS” stamped after the model number on the bearing. Timkin just uses a totally different number for the same size bearings that are for preset hubs.
Use the spacer, get the correct bearings, torque the inner nut to 300 while spinning the hub, outer jam nut to 200 and you are good to go! Easy breezy! Hub will feel tight when you spin it, but the dial will show .003-.004. Put in synthetic 75w90, not Pukas hub oil and she will run cool.
