Richardson Front Hub

Hey Tom,

Thanx for the reply, I have been in touch with Bill Richardson. I finally got the hub out of the housing. I lost the outside bearing, which ruined the sleeve but little else. The bearing race was on the hub pretty hard, but we got it of on a lathe. The housing is salvagable, as is the hub. With some bearings, seals, and a little machine work I should be back on the road soon.

I would contact Bill Richardson in AZ and ask him what to do.

The wheel bearing retainer nut behind the hub backed out completely (pretty sporty at 60 MPH). I have the axle out of the car and the CV joint housing on the bench. The hub is still in the CV joint housing along with the bearings. I can see the wheel bearings from inside the housing, and the bearings appear to still have considerable grease and do not appear to have overheated.

My question: How do you remove the hub from the housing? I don't want to cause any more damage removing the hub. Any help and suggestions are appreciated.

Thanx in advance.
