Conn47D24 Posted February 8, 2023 Report Posted February 8, 2023 Are these hubs removable from the drum? Is it just a matter of hydraulic pressing out of the studs to remove the hub? I ask in case I do a disc brake conversion seems like the kits don't include the hubs. Any experience with this please? thank you all Quote
LeRoy Posted February 8, 2023 Report Posted February 8, 2023 (edited) The wheel studs will press out, the hub will press out of the drum as well. 2 steps, press the studs out first, flip the drum over and press out the hub. Edited February 8, 2023 by LeRoy 2 1 Quote
LeRoy Posted February 8, 2023 Report Posted February 8, 2023 be sure to support the drum while pushing (deep well socket or piece of pipe), if they are a hard push you could bend the drum 1 Quote
Sniper Posted February 8, 2023 Report Posted February 8, 2023 Before you press anything make sure those studs are not swaged. If they are and you do not remove the swage first you will likely mess up the hub. http://www.fordgarage.com/pages/swaging.htm 2 Quote
