I got into the rear brakes on my '77 Midget yesterday. Actually they weren't too bad. I was able to clean up the adjusters, and I had all the rest of the parts to replace the wheel cylinders, springs

There are a couple of posts about the rear seal and hubs, so look for more than one. I bought a very cheap set of pullers from HF. I think it is the $13 set you speak of. Worked fine, but it's very

Good advice. I can NOT recommend heating the anything ina oven when doing bearings. Just warm it with a heater, not a torch. I have had problems with loose bearing fits after I did this. I can't prov

Struggling to understand whether my Bugeye rear axle is in good shape or not, bearing in mind that this is a restoration from an unknown PO. The VB and Moss catalogs show an oil seal outboard of the

Hmmm. I don't remember any oil seal other than the O-ring and gasket for the halfshaft. Also, I remember no maintenance item for greasing the rear bearings, nor is there any way to do so reasonably.

there is an oil seal at the back of the hub, an o-ring and paper gasket at the front of the hub between the hub face and the axle flange and that's all. The manual says to pack the bearing with greas

is there a way to check the rear bearings once the axles are out? I will have them out and would like the check the condition of the bearings w/o pulling the hubs, etc. Or should I just wait until I

Basically, the single ball bearing design is marginal. The axle flange is forced to accept "wobble" loads that eventually break it because of inadequate support by the bearing. To check the bearing,

double bearing hubs are available at Winners Circle, 216 333 4666, they are a direct replacement, they don't change offset, they are expensive ($300 or so I think) Brian

I just check for "excessive" rocking of the hub and for any uneven resistance to spinning or leaking of oil into the drum. I replace bearings and seals on any one of those symptoms. Also, I use seale

Does VB carry the double bearing hubs? Is this just an addition of a wider bearing, or a whold new hub? Is it a retrofit of a later model's hub? Thanks for any reply. --David '67 Sprite MKIV, Vicky

The hubs are total replacements, machined from billet steel, that use a stock bearing in the stock position and a second bearing in the inner position. I know that Winners Circle manufactures their v
