Vulgar, Abusive, Racist and Sexist Language will not be tolerated.
Commercial-type sales postings will not be allowed.
No mass posting or flooding of the boards is allowed.

VIEWING MULTIPLE TOPICS ON SCREEN: You can choose to see more than 10 Topics at a time ... Log In and choose "Preferences" from the top bar on the Forum page. Scroll down and Change the "Default Topics Returned" parameter to 25 or 50, and save the changes. Since this setting is stored in your browser 'cookies' (if enabled), it seems to use that stored value even if you are not logged in. So, if you use a PC that you haven't logged into the forum from, the setting still seem to remain at the default.
EXTERNAL PHOTO LINKS ON FORUM: You can still use external photo links in your posts on the new forum. They follow the rules of any link in that they have to have the URL link qualified down to the full image file name (example: .jpg). The links will open in a new browser window, the same as an uploaded image attached to a post. Since an image attachment to any post does not display inline with the post, the results are the same. You can use multiple external links within a post. This link is from photos on a site from Don Clink's 'Deuce@75' albums:

http://donclink.com/deuce_75_1/images/dscn2950.jpg

Using links from photo sites such as Photobucket can help in "size" issue with uploaded attachment files. For best viewing in web browsers, photos should be around the 800x600 pixel range, and probably not more than 1024x768. Most cameras today store HUGE jpg image files, as the default settings are in the 7, 8, 10, and 12Mb image sizes. The image files that are then attached are very large, and the browser can't display the full image size without using the scroll bars. Use the re-sizing functions of your photo editing software to reduce the image to 800x600, which reduces the file sixe and the image load time in the browser. Don uses Google's free Picassa3 software, which is an excellent photo management product. All of the photo albums of the Deuce, Grand National, and Auburn that are links on the NORG site were built using Picassa's web creation functions. And it's free? (THANKS to Don Clink for the info!)

I have a few questions about the sleeves in the rear hubs. I have some "wide five" rear brake drums and the ones with the best brake drum surfaces have some slight pitting in the inner bearing surfaces. These were supposed to be replaceable after sometime in 1936. Does anyone make replacements or have a pair of Ford NOS? How did the K R Wilson puller attach to these and pull them? Any other suggestions on how to pull them using "other" methods? The service bulletins said little about the subject. Could they be pulled by placing a washer behind the snap ring and pulling against that or are they to tight a fit for that method? Any help appreciated, Thanks, Cam

I don't know if anybody has replacement outer bearing races for sale. I believe the P/N is 68-1236-A. These are used with the 1 piece hub and drum.

I would have a machine shop press out the old and press in a new one.

For the definitive answer on replacement axle bearing sleeves and their installation, contact John Connelly at COLUMBIA TWO SPEED PARTS. See their advertisement on page 13 of the TIMES. They have to be pressed on and he can do it. Of course you'll have to ship them to him in CA or he can probably supply the part and you can find a local machine shop to do it.

Re-reading your question, I probably misread your question and provided an answer for the axle bearing sleeves. Regardless, John can probably tell you what you need to know.

KRW tool VZ-199 puller page 15 of the 1940 catalogue.
I picked up 2 NOS sleeves at "All Ford Parts" 68-1236. just last year.
Have not changed them yet, and may not have to. Have to make up that puller first anyhow.

Thanks everyone for the replies. I have a fairly decently equipped shop and would like to attempt to pull them myself. I do not have the KRW puller but would need to make or improvise a puller. I find it is usually no better methods then KRW had, but was just wondering if anyone knows where exactly the puller hooked onto the sleeve/outer race? Thanks.

There are three "reliefs" in the washer that the sleeve bottoms on, and it would appear that the puller had puller arms that went into these reliefs and pulled out the sleeve. I have looked at the picture many times but have not made the puller. I can scan the KRW page if you need it.

Thanks!! Yes a scan would help, I do have reprints of some of the KRW catalogs but cannot seem to find them anywhere. Thanks again for the assistance. Cam
