Seldenguy Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 Tom, it appears that the outer race was seized to the hub around the threaded end where the hub cap screws on. When you pushed the bearing race out the threaded end of the hub broke off. I see no repair that will fix your problem(safely anyways). Your best bet would be to start a search to find a used hub, plus check the other side for signs of abuse, you may need a pair. Good luck in your search. --Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom400CFI Posted June 17, 2013 Author Share Posted June 17, 2013 Well that totally stinks. I'll tell you what, the thing broke w/VERY little effort. Very little. Then when I broke the race/cup, trying to get that steel ring out...THAT thing broke even easier! I barely applied any pressure, and POP!...it was in two pieces. What is that machined surface on what is left of the hub? Is that nothing more than a "backing" for the outer race to back up against? The other wheel is the same (worn out) situation...should I even attempt to get the race out of that one? Hub isn't much good now anyway...with a toasted race, the way I see it.I am planning to take the car on a tour next week....I think that I'm dead-in-the-water. Thanks for the input.

Tom400CFI Posted June 17, 2013 Author Share Posted June 17, 2013 (edited) I took a couple more pics b/c I'm still trying to understand what parts are bearing race, and what parts are hub. I don't want to attempt to take apart the other hub until I figure this out.Here is the race (left foreground), that "steel ring" that I mentioned earlier (back ground), and the threaded part of the hub, for the hub cap....I have this idea that the "steel ring" was part of the outer race and the balls wore/cut through it, separating it from the main part of the outer race. I don't know though. Don't know why else that ring would be there, and I can't explain why the "rear" of the race is so rough -like it broke off something, itself. (?)Stacked, it doesn't even look like the race could be pressed into the hub!...Here is just the threaded part of the hub w/that "steel ring" put of it. I'm guessing that this part...is supposed to be attached to this part......like this? Is this how the hub "should" look? ...because no matter how I rotate the threaded part, i can't seem to get it to "fit" onto the end of the hub. Usually when metal breaks, you can get it to line back up and it fits together nicely. This...it looks like that threaded part never went there.

KenHupp20 Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 Hi Tom , Here is a pic showing the outter race and the hub. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom400CFI Posted June 18, 2013 Author Share Posted June 18, 2013 Perfect, Ken. Thank you so much. That pic tells everything. Indeed, my balls "sawed" all the way through my outer race and were riding on the I.D. of the threaded end of the hub. So that "steel ring" IS, (or was) part of the the bearing race. Yikes! Thanks Ken! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom400CFI Posted June 18, 2013 Author Share Posted June 18, 2013 Hubs are off/out of the wheels and down at a machine shop in Salt Lake City for a modern bearing solution upgrade. They are backed up several weeks so in the mean time, I'm considering the Ford hub ides. Either way, Hupp won't be touring next week. It's not going to make it.

Guest Edgar Bowen Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 Hi Tom and Ken, Perhaps I am a bit too late for you but this is my experience:- I measured the gap between drum and crankcase at 7/32nds of an inch. Originally this gap was filled with two brass washers sandwiching a fibre washer which acted as a thrust bearing to counter pressure applied on the clutch pedal. A modern thrust bearing AXK4565 with a thin washer on each side conveniently replaces this arrangement. Similarly the bearing in the clutch on the end of the coil spring has also been replaced with a thrust bearing AXK4060 and washers LS4060 on each side plus AS4060 with a spacer fitted to take up the extra diameter necessary to enlarge the brass bush shoulder which locates them.. all the best, Edgar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Anderson Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 Hello, I thought it was easier to upload a video of my questions regarding the clutch. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ePuZiSLFm-w thanks Simon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1910Hupp Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 Simon First of all the clutch actuation rod I think has to much play in it This will mean the clutch is not engaging fully Secondly what oil do you have in the gearbox ? - Should be engine oil -the multiple discs in the clutch have to separate and the wrong thickness of oil makes this impossible . Nice last couple of days in Melbourne ! Enjoyed some nice wine tasting in the Yarra valley . Some amazing Shiraz/Syrah ( some bottles of which will cross the Tasman home with me ) However I still believe New Zealand makes the better Sauv Blancs and Pinot Noirs- but maybe I'm just used to our style -Karl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Anderson Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 thanks for the reply Karl, I am glad your enjoying Melbourne and it crazy weather. I have Penrite Shelsley Med sae30 oil in the box . I believe it has a thrust washer missing between the clutch fork and clutch basket, which in return is giving the excess movement on the clutch rod, thus not giving enough disengagement of the clutch plates. any thoughts anyone, before i pull the box out? thanks Simon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MochetVelo Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 Since the clutch has been addressed, I'd like to pose a question: When stopped and in low gear, my Hupp doesn't creep forward. However, the engine will speed up when I shift to neutral. Does this mean the clutch is dragging? Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Anderson Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 Well I bit the bullet and pulled the gearbox out after a couple of runs in it with the clutch getting worse, not disengaging and slipping, so the works... so after pulling the box out I find that the previous owner failed to put any thrust washer between the clutch basket and block and no thrust ball bearing behind the spring... now wonder I was having trouble. if anyone has tips,tricks, sizes of bearing and washers or the correct parts I could buy, please let me know it would be greatly appreciated. with further investigation on the box casing, the torque tube ball mount is cracked....Bugga, so I need to get this welded up by someone who can weld cast.

trimacar Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 Somewhere I had a picture of Ken's washers, seems there were two brass washers and one fiber washer between them. I'll keep looking.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1912Minerva Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 Hi Simon and David, Here are some photos I obtained from this forum when I was having a problem with my gearbox/clutch. My engine would slow down and stall when the clutch was depressed and on pull down, I found the thrust washers were missing. With the help of this forum, i had washers made up and now things work pretty well. Cheers, Andrew. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Anderson Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 Thanks Andrew, these photos have help me solve my problem (i hope) the local bearing shop was able to help with the trust bearing for the spring and thrust washers. time will tell if i have it right... Has anyone have a spare exhaust manifold they would like to part with? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1910Hupp Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 I don't have a spare exhaust manifold but what I do have is all the patterns to cast one . The previous owner of my car cast mine when he restored the car and I ended up with the patterns . If you can't find one then I could explore what it would cost to get one cast locally. I suspect should be reasonable as most of the money goes in making the patterns which we already have -Karl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MochetVelo Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 ...and I have patterns for the intake manifold, should anyone want one! Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought I included part numbers of all the modern bearings that I used. I know I'm replying VERY late...Haven't been on this forum in a long time. I can go back and look, but I used the stock ball thrust bearing inside the clutch, and modern, roller thrust bearings for the throw out and the thrust between the clutch housing and crank case.

Tom400CFI Posted July 8, 2019 Author Share Posted July 8, 2019 Found it on page 4... "For me, the LS4060 and it's respective races didn't fit over the shoulder of my clutch housing. I had to throw it in the lathe and cut that bit down, even with the rest of the shaft, then polish it. Came out sweet, and I'm confident that it will work really well.. WAY better than the bushing stack that originally resided there. I didn't have to replace the "behind the spring" ball thrust bearing, but I am also replacing the "throw-out bushing" with a needle thrust bearing too. In my case, I'm using a TRD-4458, which fits awesome, and I think it will work really well. Both bearings have 7000+ lbf ratings, and 7000+ RPM limits...so I think it's safe to say that they'll last a while in this application!" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
