    I am changing out my hub bearings on my passenger side of my 03’ Tundra and when pressing out the hub from the bearing it cracked the outside edge. Almost looks like a snap ring. Should I file it down to accept the new seal, try and JB weld it back on and sand down, or am I screwed and have to buy a new knuckle?

    Yes, it no longer carries their badge but my original off of the truck had their stamp on it. Might be Tuff Country now

    I'm only aware of two companies that mass-produced 5" lifted knuckles, Tuff Country and RCD.

    And unfortunately, one of those two companies (Tuff Country, I think?) recently stopped making the kit, so you may be hard-pressed to find replacement parts if it's the TC kit.

    Your best bet is to call them, and I'd recommend (since they're discontinuing) buying one for the other side while you're at it, since you may never be able to get replacement parts again for that kit.
