Rockwell hubs?

[wontwork]

Just wondring if anyone knows how much has to be machined off the outer hub to turn it around. Would like to know so I can drop it off at the machine shop and just give them a number so there is no quessing game.

If your talking about flippin the hub wider/ narrower stance, nothing has to be machine just knock the races out and swap inner outer.

That is what i am talking about. The back of the lugs are hitting the axle housing.

I will try again, and if I can't get them to work I will post a pic.

On Deasons buggy we had to have about half of the lugs cut down on the back side and that was all. I think the races are the same inner and outer.

Races are the same. The inner breaing just has a bigger ID than the outer.

Races are the same but we swapped em cause the bearings patterns into them.

take the spindle studs out and replace with bolts , then grind the wheel stud heads to clear the bolts . no machine work needed just little grindage!!!

I was just gona cut the studs off flush with the nut.

Just always heard you needed to machine the hub to make it work.

Re: rockwells

no hub work. are the nuts taller than a slim bolt head? I went bolts and some grinding on the lower half of the stud

Re: rockwells

flip the hubs. remove the studs and use 3/8 course thread bolts 1" long. your lug nut studs may need some grinding. other than that its just an easy job.

I am thinking this is my route after looking at it some more in the daylight.

Re: rockwells

We machined the back side down.On the back there is about an 1/8 " indentions,cut so it is flush.You can use the origional studs on the spindles just cut them flush with the outside of the nut.Worked everytime.
