I didn't get any replies on this, so I spoke with Robert Couch at Morgan
Spares and I thought I would pass along the info. Apparently the factory
screwed up a couple of years and produced hubs without any cut-away notches
to allow the bearing races to be drifted out. He indicated that he has used
a die grinder to cut notches so that the races can be drifted out. Boy,
never a dull moment when you are working on a Morgan!
