So I am fixing my front brakes and took the old drums off. The wheel hub assebly ( the thing in the center of the drums with the lug bolts) is seized in the old drum and the lug bolts threads are less than perfect. I got new drums but I can't find a new wheel hub assembly. Anyone know where I could purchase a couple of new ones? Having trouble finding on the internet. Do I have name of part correct?

Thanks,

Mike

 

heat and a hammer should get the hub of the drums. lug nuts can be change. they drive out of the hub. then you drive new lug nuts in.

 

I have one drum and hub assy off of a 66 F100...Not original drum to the truck.

Im a bit north of you if you ever venture up this way...Im a lil off of 5...

1964/67 F100: FoMoCo only sold the hub & drum as a one piece assembly (*), so there was no individual hub or drum available from FoMoCo.

New drums are available at autoparts stores, but the 1964/67 drums are not the same as 1957/63 drums, as their offset is different.

Original procedure: The drum is removed from the hub using a press. Take the hub and drum to an autoparts store machine shop. They can press the hub off, install new studs, then press the new drum onto the hub.

If you bought the wrong drums: FTE member airharley works in an autoparts store. He spent time researching thru old autoparts store catalogs, so he knows the correct part number for the drums, where to get them.

* C6TZ-1102-B (replaced C4TZ-1102-A) .. Hub & Drum Assy / Obsolete / Applications: 1964/67 F100.

CARPENTER NOS OBSOLETE PARTS in Concord NC has 1 = 800-476-9653.

HAVEN FORD in Haven KS has 2 = 620-465-2252,

No other Ford Dealer or obsolete parts vendor has any.

 

Would give you the front of mine since I went with disc brakes, but I'm in VA

 

Crap, you have to just heat them up till the drum pops off. Acetylene torch that is. If you have a lot of trouble and get things really hot, then a new seal in back is in order (likely a good idea anyhow) and clean up/repack all the bearings. If the bearings are rough, then replace those too....

 

The studs have serrations on them, when pressed into the hub/drum, the serrations are what retain the whole tamale.

Peeps use a hammer to pound the studs out, but if not careful, the studs come out at an angle which causes the holes in the drum to become egg shaped.

One should never use old studs again! Since the serrations have have flattened out, the drum will be a "loose fit" on the hub.

Sooner or later, usually sooner, the drum will "walk away" from the hub, taking the wheel along with it...usually tearing up the sheet metal in the process. Not pleasant.

 

I know this is an old thread, but a current issue for me. If you heat up the center of the drum where the hub attaches will the hub pop off the drum with the studs and all, or the studs get hammered out first?

How about getting everything all together again? Thanks.
