Hello all from a perrennial lurker. While the Meejut is sleeping under
winter anesthesia, i though I'd replace the wire wheel hubs in the rear.
Wheels as well of course as they are all shot. So I got the drum off and
then the half shaft came out of the basket with the hub attached.
Questions:
1. How the devil do I get the hub off the half shaft???? Is it threaded?
or just pressed.
2. Question one will probably answer this: How do I fit the new hub?
3. Do I have to remove the basket cover to refit the half shaft? Any tips
here? Anything else I should be replacing? No leaks seen, pads OK.
4. The bolts that hold the hub and drum as a sandwich: how are they
replaced? I can probably use the ones there, but they are somewhat dinged
up and if replacement is not too hard.....
5. And last but not least: any direction to point me for purchasing hubs
and wheels? Anyone got used set for sale???
Thanks for all the help, in advance. Chins up fellows, another 6 weeks of
this and we'll be into spring. Well maybe 8 or ten.....
