oh man what a chore that was, 32 bolts a tire and i only did two ( 66 bolts for those who cant add very well ) but the front tire's are DUN ( did i spell that right ).

Fixed it for you   

thats the plan. i might install those 30 spline drive flange's to. since the offsset was a little deeper on these rims the hubs sticks out a tad more, plus i have them. not that i really care how much i bang up the old hubs up, i just firgure hey what the hell.

sorry to bring up an old thread but how are you liking the skid steer valve stems? i need to get a set and was wondering if it was worth the hassle of getting to at Bobcat dealer. can they be installed after the tire is mounted?

I like them, there rugged and wont rip off. I have them placed in a spot were rubber stems probally would not get ripped off but I could not get a low profile rubber stem with a 90* bend in them. 
So thats why I plugged welded the old hole's and redrilled for these stems. I now can sneak them into a 2" hole I cut in the rims, I made a air chack thats fits into the tight area and so far it works fine.

If you cant break down the tire then you wont be able to install the BobCat stems, there two piece and the inner section has a rubber seal and a brass retainer ring that needs to be intalled first.

No I want to say I had to drill the rim or the opening in the rim to a 5/8" hole, you need a flat spot to mount them to. It cant be on a lip or a corner, they wont seat right or at all.

I like them alot but they may not the best option for you, they are beefy and I dought they will ever come in contact with or get ripped off from a rock. Thats mostly becasue of were I placed them but if a rock hit them it wont hurt them.
