loose bearing race - K/H disc hub
I was eating breakfast and my son walked in . I asked him if he had a loose race in a rotor hub how would he fix it/ And can you use Loctite. His first response was get a new one. After I told him they are not available. He said the only way to correctly fix that rotor would be sleeve it. I asked him the cost to do it? He said $100
I mention loctite? He said a definite NO .
I mentioned spray weld . He told me it would be very hard to get the torch in the small area of that size race. Also the weld would turn the hub completely cherry red. He said the best way to do it is sleeve it. Much Cheaper then getting a steel hub made and you wouldn't see the repair.
So the permanent repair would cost around $100 dollars. A replacement used hub a little more. But repairing would be double shipping.
My son can repair anything. He does a lot of work for prominent race car owners and builders. He trues the spindles on Troyer Nascar race cars and other items. If he says no loctite. Its no loctite for me.
Some of the machine tooling he designs and makes is precise and unbelievable. I would have to listen to what he says'
