Hubbed Brake Drums
Hubbed Brake Drums
— Tapered cone adapters fit
in the bearing seats, making contact near the middle
of the bearing race whenever possible rather than near
an edge. Various adapters and spacers may be used to
fill out the shaft of the arbor.
Hubless Brake Drums
— A cone fits into the center
hole of the drum from the inside to center the drum on
the arbor. Select a hubless adapter which will fit inside
the drum, against the flat lug hole surface and either
straddle the boltholes to avoid mounting against a burr,
or remove the burrs. Slip the hubless adapter onto the
arbor followed by a spring, the cone, the drum, and
another hubless adapter. Fill out the shaft with spacers
as needed.
Note:
Refer to instructions in adapter kit for mount-
ing Hubless drums and rotors.

turn. DO NOT overtighten the arbor nut.
