by brentchaffin Thu Sep 13, 2018 3:52 amOk so the wheel bearing went out on my 1963 Econoline. No big deal. I pull it apart and it turns out the race spun in the hub and tore it up. I read some old posts about this but just curious what my options are. Should I try and find a used hub of an old van? Are there other hubs (like off mustangs or falcons) that are the same. Any help is appreciated?

You'll have to find a replacement. There are no hubs that fit our spindle that I know of.

More common that spun races are people who dont know how to remove the studs correctly and ruin them that way ... LOL>....... Many years ago had told everyone on the all of the forums to grab them at the bone yards WHEN they were coming out. I have some that I use for my Disc conversion setup. Email me at see what I can do,....

Left and right spindles are the same as each other, without the steering arms,, I have some axles that I am taking apart for an another person and so may have some for sale also.'
