Default Scored damper hub

Is the hub and damper a matched set? Can I change the hub and use the old damper?

I have a leak in that area. I tore it down and found two rings on the hub. I will take a photo soon as I am beat from taking it apart. That was my first LTX damper removal and it lived up to its reputation.

What are folks using for a replacement damper if I have to go that route? I don't want to sleeve the hub.

I am installing a pile of parts I have accumulated. Yeah Brian, I do it too. Just not three years.

Used my new kwiklift and must say it is sweet.

Now it is three Heinekens and a percocet.

Yes, you can change the hub and use the old dampner.

What condition is your harmonic balancer in? If the rubber is deteriorating, then it would probably be best to go ahead and replace it.
