Ford Blitz Restoration/Rebuild

[Bob Carriere]

Hi Tony

Enjoy following your restoration.

ON the front pins that are hard to remove.... if memory serves me right there is fine thread hole on the centre..... find a suitable....odd size something like 7/16 fine thread and build yourself a puller using the other four bolt holes on the cap...... may need some heat to free it up.... but it will come out.

On the large front hub seal.... there are still being made for commercial application...... do not bother reading the part numbers.... a good bearing/seal shop will have access to a search engine on their computer and they will match dimension ID/OD. Last time I got some the part guy was apologetic for only having one in stock... the second one was there in 48 hours....... all for $19.95 each..... but will be more down under with shipping. Too bad they welded that backing plate... ridiculous really and will give you a headache.
Wonder if you will find stripped bolt holes to account to the welding.

Good luck.

Bob
