Larry, it was a bit of an interesting occurance as Dennis said.

It was a combination of factors. parly due to my own lack of maintenance as I had only just started doing my own work, and also due to a previous owners lack of maintenace.

At some point water had gotten into the wheel bearing on that side and rusted it out. I only ever found some small traces of the cage that holds the bearing. And obviously it let go, and bent the lock washers and the whole wheel hub came off whilst attached to the wheel. I certainly know how to maintenance bearings now!!!!

As for ending up in that position, I was moving about 2km/h and it came off and caught on the fuel tank, and I just rolled up onto it
