Well, was working on my 5 lug conversion and one of my front 911 hubs is messed up. At least I suspect it to be messed up. The outer bearing race mating surface on the hub had an accident it seems. The race upon prior install seems to have ate away a little of 1 side of the wall of the hub because it did not go in center/straight, along with that there are a few smaller punch holes from attempting to remove said bearing race.
For those that have used less that perfect parts such as a mangled hub, how critical is this surface in terms of it being either useable or junk. No pics on my end for today, but wanted to put out a feeler for this to gauge if I need a new hub or not. There are a handful of small punch marks where the race would be seated and found some alum. shavings from 1 side of the walls of the hub. Can I throw this in the lathe and use some Emery cloth or something very light to at least smooth out the punches and try my luck or is this very particular and I need a new hub if there's even 1 nick? |
