Star Hubs 1940-1966 with Tapered Roller Bearings

Star Hubs 1940-1966 with Tapered Roller Bearings

Description
Facts
Good to know

This hub is completely re-engineered. It duplicates the original part in outside dimensions and appearance, but has added the reliability of tapered roller bearings. Comes ready-to-install, with conventional grease seals.

Attention! Possible assembly fault and brake drum failure.

Some brake drum/wheel hub combinations require one or more spacer shims (front W&W 27-748, rear 27-746) to prevent them from touching the hub’s spoke rim. The brake drum must not touch the hub’s spoke flange. This might result in the drum breaking when tightening lug bolts.

  • steel
  • matching axle Ø: 11/16 ”
  • with tapered roller bearings and all internal parts
