andyseven Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 Can anyone offer their advice or, experience of removing and cleaning rust on the wheel hubs? Also, once this has been removed - will bare metal now be shown? if so, how should this painted and treated? I notice that this part of the car rusts very quickly......... thanks for anyone's comment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil B Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 Fronts are £114 each from CC, or £91 each from Canley classics. These use the standard early type taper roller bearings. There are other suppliers I am sure. For the rear end there are a few Sierra alloy bearing carriers available that the off road buggy builders use. The locost builders seem to use these too. phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
