These are before and after pics derusting using the electrolytic rust removal technique described in the following link. http://www3.telus.net/public/aschoepp/electrolyticrust.html It took about twelve hours (overnight) for these results. This method works better than merely wire brushing as it conv...

Is the problem that the shackle is too long for the perch? I am going to look thru my pile and see if I have any perches with a longer shackle rcvr.

Something catastrophic happened that caused the lip to break...the rivets both sheared (the rivets were 1/16th over the original size and there were two of them) and the sleeve apparentl rotated with the bearings and the sleeve is now undersize for the hub (dont know if hub was made larger or sleeve...

Mike...Your "drop it flat" method worked great and I got both seals out no problem. I ground off the rivet heads on the old hub and drove them out. As you can see in the picture at some time the sleeve slipped and capsized the rivets on the inside. The one not shown was even more sheared. ...

Impressed with your perserverance! All four hubs that I pulled practically fell off!!! A question, Did you replace the sleeve in your good hub? If so where did you get the rivet? Does anybody know where that part is available? Or how to mickey mouse it?

I assume right and left are interchangeable so long as you change the lugs ...
