I'm going to be using front hubs off an 87 carrera and they've got some oxidizing on them. Instead of painting or powdercoating, would anodizing hold up the heat and grease that these things are exposed to. Also I'm worried about the process of anodizing, its basically dipped in the process to coat the part. I'm not sure if it will effect the fitting of the bearings. Has anyone done this before on their hubs? Any experience on this process to educate me before I make anymore mistakes would be appreciated.

You have to remove all non-aluminum parts before anodizing. Not all alloys are anodizable, so you have to check that. Anodizing doesn't change the dimesnions very much, so the bearings should still fit fine.
