star hub pieces

Post by PanScott »

Hi all, I took apart my star hub for maintenance and have a question maybe ya'll can help me with. I do not seem to have PN 43561-39 "inside hub bearing thrust collar" . Palmers book made no reference to it. It shows in my '49-'57 book though. Is this pressed in to the hub already?

This part is pressed in the hub on the brake side.
I have never seen one fail.

It's a light press fit, and seldom is removed when simply cleaning up the internals. If you're rebuilding your hub, just make sure it is fully seated into the bore. A socket of an appropriate size works well.
I have seen these loose in the bore, on rare occasions.
