patties28 Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 I'm looking for info on how to disassemble the rear hub of a wood spoke wheel. I need to remove the rear brake drum for repair. I have removed all bolts and spokes. My question is, does the inner hub press out of the outer hub? Or is there something else I should be looking at? Thanks, Gene.

Jon37 Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 I'm afraid I can't offer advice, but if no one has any suggestions you might try the Hudson club's forum, at http://www.classiccar.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=13 . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldiron Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 Gene; usually the brake drum is held in place by bolts that run through the hub and then through the brake drum. The nuts are on the inside surface of the brake drum. Remove these nuts , tap the bolts out and the drum should be able to be worked off the body of the hub. I've worked on several cars that were set up this way; i.e. Buick, Ford, Marmon, to name a few. This is covered in Dyke's if you have a copy.
