A spare hub with no oil seal turns very freely. especially if just very thin oil. (For decades i have balanced wheels on family cars by the horizontal method using a miniature lightweight level. Seldom go to 70 mph but OK on my old cars with double wishbones, and usually on the wife's Mc Pherson Japs.)

If you have a spare front hub without bearings
it will fit Most balancing machines!
My problem I ask questions that other people don't like?
Like have you got that for an investment or for fun?

I am having having Riley 9 wheels rebuilt and had to send the chap a front hub so he could mount it on his machine then had to send him a brake drum too because of the way the Riley hubs work. You need the drum there to provide the right spacing or the wheel wouldn't seat down correctly. I also need new studs and wheel nuts all around apparently. Makes you appreciate 3 stud wheels when you add up the cost of doing four 6 stud ones!
