Re: 1951 Crosley Sport -- how?
I will let all know when I get the Motors if it tells. As far as removing the hubs and knowing of consequences:
1) Removed cotter key and axle nut. 2) Shot hub/taper with liquid wrench 3) Next day used blue flame on hub near taper 4) Used a 3/4" thick strap across castle nut on axle left a little over 1/16" gap between nut and hub using 1/2" fine thread bolts across 2 opposite lug threads -- they are 4 lug 5) Slowly somewhat evenly tighten bolts -- need some tension 6) If needed give strap a light tap but was not needed. Both sides acted the same. 7) Do not gorilla anything. Use more liquid wrench and blue flame. As I understand most of these hubs crack because of the incorrect installation of the square key on the taper then tightening. Since they are 1/4" keyed I used never seize on the tapers to reinstall.
