Does anyone have pics of how to flip the rear hubs on a deuce?

Do a search for that topic, I've downloaded a very well put together procedure off an existing thread several month ago.

Fantastic info, and it appears to be quite easy. Thanks again!

Hell no! It was a pain in the rump, and I used a hydraulic press to get the studs out and in.

when you take out the studs, put them in a plastic bag and place them in the freeze. put the hub in the sun and let them cure over night. when you put them back together, the studs will be easeir to install. i used a couple of 4x4's and a BFH. worked like a charm

I think Opie just did that before Grayling, call and bug him. Maby he'll have a trick or two.......

It is easy to understand, just hard to do. Pull the axle, take the axle nuts off, take the hub off, separate the axle hub and brake hub, screw the bud nuts on about 10 threads worth, press or pound then out, press or pound them back in from the reverse direction, reassemble.

put the hub in the sun and let them cure over night.

Are you in Alaska? Just wondering how you can leave them in the sun overnight.


Glad I followed through the links to the photos. I've always wondered by looking at other threads and photos how the drum can end up mounted to the other end of the hub, until it finally dawned on me today that the drum and axle shaft shares the same mounting bolt hole pattern!
