jeremy.thames Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 Hey everyone. New to the group and sure am thankful for the abundance of info on here! So, I've read the pros and cons of the swap, daytons to hub piloted, and I am hell bent on changing the front hubs of my ol gal to hub piloted. I have found hubs here and there, but I am at a loss as to what hubs will fit my axle & spindles, and if the current brake setup will work. It's a mack 18k front, I see casting numbers but not sure what numbers/letters tell the type of axle this is.. . all factory original. So, can someone please help an ol dude out? I know there has got to be a way to cross reference what hub/drum will fit... many thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kscarbel2 Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 Contact the parts dept. at your Mack brand dealer with your model and serial number, and have them submit a changeover request to Mack’s specifications dept. They will receive information allowing them to correctly order the parts required for you (the parts the truck would have had it been ordered/built that way.

I was just hoping to go with used parts, but at least this route will give me the exact Mack parts needed. Much appreciated.Sent from my XT1650 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BGarofalo Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 Call conmet tech dept. they will need your bearing numbers and then they will cross to one of their hubs. Had to do it a few times and they have always came through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were not all the same.....there were many, many variations. The only way to get the "correct" parts, i.e. the parts the truck would have been built with if spec'd with discs, is to have a changeover request submitted. Any other route is a guessing game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
