Original B model wheels


Recommended Posts

On the front, pull the hub cap, then there should be a carter key and a slotted spindle nut. Pull them off, then the inner and outer bearing and the hub/brake drum assembly should slide off. On the back, pull the axle. There should be a large axle nut and a series of lock rings, other than that it's pretty much the same as the front. Be sure and have the brakes backed off, and it doesn't hurt to have an extra set of hands around to help you handle the hubs. They tend to be heavy.

That's you are going to do.

If plan to sandblast hubs wash all the grease off from the bearing cavit.

I saved a time not dismounting outer bearing cones but had to remove them after blasting.

Sand fixed up on a grease that came from little canals behind the cones so I needed to wash the hubs again.

One note on powder coating. Cover any threaded stud or bolt hole or you will end up with grief. The powder coating is a bit&h to remove so you can install nuts or bolts. I learned that the hard way on my AC rear axle and trans-axle assemblies. Paul

Thanks fellas! I have decided to just go through everything and then do the powdercoating while it is taken apart! Thant way I know that it is all good to go. Thanks again for all of your help! This is my first heavy truck and am learning by leaps and bounds
