Rear hub repair kit
I need input from Ford barn members again the past advice I have received has been invaluable again Thank you Jerry. This time it is my rear hubs they are pitted and showing signs of wear. Is the hub repair kit worthwhile or should I just buy new hubs I worry the kit won't hold up? Thanks again Jerry

Re: Rear hub repair kit
We use the repair kits all the time. They should come with the correct bearings. If the inside of the hub is worn, how are axle housing race areas? The wear will be at the bottom. No good fixing the one if the others worn too. They can be fixed also but it's a lot more work.

Re: Rear hub repair kit
From what I see the "repair" sleeve is also the 36 hub sleeve and bearing, if the hub damage is such that it still alows the race to be held secure and true it should be a lifetime repair

Re: Rear hub repair kit
The sleeve repair kit race is pressed in. The hubs do not require machining. They use the later style bearings that have an outside diameter that is smaller then the original Model A bearing. The sleeve is "glued" in using sleeve lock product that comes with the kit. If you have questions you could call Snyder's and talk to their teck support person.

Re: Rear hub repair kit
Sounds like everyone on this thread are talking apples and oranges.
1) The kit to repair the worn race in rear hub is listed in Brattons Catalog as part # 1820 2) The race sleeve sold to repair the worn axle housing (trumpet) is part #1840 and requires disassembly of the differential housing so the worn race can be turned down to allow the new race to be pressed on. |

No, I'm pretty sure everyone here is mentioning 'hub'. Mike, the issue that I have found is that during the lifespan of the hub, probably due to poor, --or no grease for the bearing, it begins to wear the race in the hub. For whatever reason, it does not wear uniformly but instead creates a taper (...or maybe another term would be draft) in the race surface of the hub. Yes, a sleeve can be pressed in however there really is not anything to support the sleeve in the tapered area. The sleeve retaining compound cannot support the sleeve either, so over time, the weight and thrusting loads of corners will expand the sleeve until it rests on the hub that is tapered. Realistically at that point you are back to the original problem, and my thought is why bother? I was hoping Tom had a better (i.e.: quicker) way he could share with us on how he fixtures the hub in a lathe where the tapered race wear could be machined out with a boring bar prior to installing a sleeve. As I mentioned above, indicating it in on a mill sucks!! . |
