zelinadc 0 #1 Posted May 23, 2014 Gentlemen, Restoring my 68 Ranger and the from hubs are pretty loose. While I have sorted out how to restore the rest of the moving part tolerances, the hubs are perhaps the most worn. first question.. are the bushings in the fron split hubs pressed in? Can they be pressed out and replaced with bearings or bronze bushings? Thanks! Dave Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

slammer302 2,154 #3 Posted May 23, 2014 The bushings can be drove out if you go with roller bearings you will need a spacer because the bearings are thinner than the bushings about 1/2 inch I went through this on my lawn ranger good luck Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
roscoemi 245 #4 Posted May 30, 2014 The bushings in P'Chops '67 Ranger wheels were spot welded in, so bored them out and used bronze bushings to tighten things up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
