I have been trying to find a replacement semi-girling back axle for my ORT. I picked one up last year just before Moreton and have just got round to opening the hubs to check the brakes... oh dear! New oil seals requred!!!
I managed to remove the spring pins after a year of adding easing oil once in a while, but the hubs themselves steadfastly refuse to shift. (Over the last two days I have tried heat, ice spray, a three legged puller on my frankenstein hub puller wound up to bursting point and left overnight, plus the biggest of hammers... all in various combinations.) Ho hum.
If I do manage to seperate them, can anyone tell me what lip seal I need to replace the old felt seal with... there's a bearing place not far from here...
