De-Rusting Hub Carriers

[Daviewonder 533 3 Cars]

Good read

 

Have you removed rust from hubs like that before? I used a similar product on mine and it removed the polished surface that the bearings run on, causing them to rumble like mad.

Eh? Bearings are a sealed unit

[Daviewonder 533 3 Cars]

The back of the bearing has a seal, the front of it doesn't.

Lol you derusted it with the bearing still in place?

No, I striped the ball bearings out of the hubs and de rusted the hubs.

I can't see this thread lasting much longer...

[calvinhorse 870]

So then what happened? Did you buy new ones?

[Daviewonder 533 3 Cars]

Yeah, expensive mistake

I've cleaned rear wheel bearings up before by sealing the bearing off with gaffer tape then gently sand blasting the exposed surface.

[calvinhorse 870]

That'll teach you not to be a hub painting pervert

[Daviewonder 533 3 Cars]

I got caught up in the moment after rebuilding my beam, ok

[jord294 92]

Have never had any issues when I've stripped down, cleaned out and regreased hubs.
