Wooden Spokes

[pitt9107]

I want to take the spokes out of the wheel and redo them. I took off the tire and then the brake hub, then I removed the nuts & bolts from the center of the hub and removed them. Now comes the ?. How do I seperate the brake hub from the outter hub, so that I can remove the spokes?

I am working on a 29 DB standard 6, (thanks to this forum I now know what I have)

Thanks Bob

First number all spokes on the ends and donot sand round pin at top,or

sides of taper at bottom or the part that fits around hub. If you do ,you will be shimming to take click out !!! If painted you have to bleach paint out to

make natural wood grain. Good Luck time and patience

Hi,

You may need to use a hydraulic press to get the brake drum separated from the hub. It took 14 tons of pressure to do this on our Packard wheels.

Good luck,
