I don't know what "your" setup is, but if all you are doing is sliding a thrust bearing in between your cone washer and the retaining nut, then no, it does not work. all that does is off load some of the pressure on the outer bearing of the hub.

the slapmaster completely remove the pressure off that outer bearing in your hub. the beauty of it is that you use the thrust bearing where if was ment to be. your setup has a lateral load still on the outer bearing. which will fail just as if you did not have the thrust bearing at all.

and as rich says, "if you don't want to spend the money, then don't"what I am trying to do is make sure you understand what you are "not" buying. My original understanding of the slapmaster was the same as you
