I believe the spindle is a bit out of wack on the outer race and is causing the bearing to sit funny and causing them to go bad. Also probably due to using cheap bearings and the combination of the two.

Yup snagging new bearings later today.

Perfect picture for exactly what I thought you had done. I will do the same.

Sweet thank you for the info going to do that in just a few.

Please do share I am not sure what you mean by peen. I am all for learning to get this fixed.

9" Drums, Outer race. The outer race in the hub is loose and is causing a clicking noise. I thought it was the bearing but after inspecting it I noticed the race is loose. I cannot pull it out but it does move. Is there a fix for this? New hub? If new hub anyone know where I can get...

I am having the exact same issue. Cannot find dust caps either anywhere. I really need to switch from the 9" drums but am unable to afford that just yet.

Hooray I am at work. So here is the story. On sunday morning I replaced the bearings on the front wheels. Replaced the races and packed the bearings. Put it all back together. Overtightened the nut and did not back it off. Drove it for 30 miles and stopped at a gas station for a few and...

Yup I will do from now on haha.

Yup I learned a huge lesson the past 2 days. I will be a bit more thorough on researching next time I go to work on the car.

I did pack them full of grease. But after torquing them down really tight and then driving 50 miles it got so hot it liquefied the grease and cooked it off. Then boom they blew out and sent me to the right and I promptly pulled over and called the tow truck.

All fixed up new bearings on. Used a hub puller and it pulled it right off very quickly. Thank you all for the advice. Spindle only had a slight groove torn out of it around it and I was able to sort of smooth it over for the bearing to go back on its good for a quick fix for now I think...

Sorry if my typing is out of whack and punctuation is worse at best. Doing all of this on much phone since I have no access to a computer.

I use a dremel to cut it then a chisel to split it and knock it off and then I used a grinding wheel on the Dremel to even it out enough to get the bearings on. The passenger side had no bearings whatsoever and was easy to just pull off the driver side on the other hand has most of the bearing...

I will try and chip away at the bearing and see if I can't pull some of the bearings out to pull the hub. I am currently stuck in Dixon as that's where the car broke. Thankfully I had all my tools in the car and my girlfriend lives here. The passanger side was slightly fused together and I...

It is drum brakes. I have taken the wheel of have also taken the drum off but the hub is really stuck due to the bearing. I will try and get to the auto parts store and get a big puller. I will look into heat as well. Just don't have a torch or anything to use to heat it up.

Driver side wheel bearing stuck. I blew it out on the road but cannot get it off the spindle. I have used hammers I have tried prying I took the tire off to try and get off and it will not come off. Here is a picture If anyone has advice please feel free to let me know. I am really...

I am very much interested in this thread keep it comming.

Just did all drums on 71 demon. Had the same issue and just reused the old washers. As long as they are not warped or broken there is no reason not to use them.
