Carnac, I'd like to see a pic of your seal tool. Were your studs damaged before removal or did they get trashed as you took them out? What tool did you use to remove the studs?

Good catch! I updated the first link.

Yes, "race" = "bearing cup". I get bearings from Allied Bearing, much, much cheaper than NAPA. O'Reilly Auto is typically cheaper then NAPA too. Yes, you can usually reuse seals. By the way, these are the Rockwell / Meritor seal part numbers: Inner: A1205Z650 Outer: A1205Q667

Thanks! Website Harbor Freight part number fixed. 2445 is KD's part number. A NAPA search using only that number (without SER) will find it. There is a paper gasket, often you can re-use it, but if not I've used gasket maker without issues. Race part # (interchange, both inner and outer)...

Randydirt: You can never go wrong keeping the bearing and race set together. Firefox: I don't know anything about the M211, other than I'd like to have one! What makes this work on the M35 is that the brake drum and the axle shaft have the same bolt pattern. It very possible that the M211 is...

The races, both inner and outer, are the same part number. When I do it; if the races and bearings look good, make that perfect, I just swap the bearings.

Could be the "cork thing", could be a worn outer seal, could be a clogged axle vent.... Since it's apart, it is easy to see if the "cork thing" is missing and it is also a great time to replace the seal while you're there. Seals are pretty cheap.

With the stock hub postion, the width measured on the flat part of the hub flange (where the wheel rim mounts) from one side to the other is 69.5" When you flip the hubs that measurment goes to 79.5"... so it adds 5" per side, 10" total.

Of the four axels that I've flipped the hubs on, only one had safety wired drum bolts. The other three had "normal" bolts, not drilled for safety wire, they had lock washers instead. Picture #11 shows the drum bolts before disassembly, and no safety wire.

Yep! Picture #14 shows the inner bearing on the axle tube, the seal is right behind the bearing. Just pull the bearing off the tube to get to the seal.

Great idea! It's been added!

If you want to see the steps involved in flipping hubs; I flipped the hubs on a truck yesterday and finished-up the "How To: Hub Flip" page on my website: Hub Flip Enjoy!
