[6pack] hub remove and replace

[Sally or Dick Taylor]

Dave---I'd say the answers to your three questions are: Yes, probably yes, and probably not at all.

The L & R hubs and axles are interchangeable. Best to use the male/ female splined parts as a pair, altho they'll go together when a part of different pairs.

This is not a particularly difficult job, and basic tools should be fine. You may want to look at the two u-joints on the axle in question, to be sure this is not part of your vibration. (There should be no lost motion in the yokes).

If alll you've changed is to the Morgan brake cylinders, it shouldn't affect the job ahead.

?hi, all.

it seems that the right rear hub is bad on my 72 tr6.  you can rock it back 
and forth quite a bit, and theres a definitive vibration on the right side 
above 35 mph.

ideally I'd replace the whole rear end with nissan and goodparts, but right 
now I'm busy paying college tuition.

I have a friend who has two tr6 parts cars.  assuming there's a good hub 
there, here are my questions:

1.  are left and right interchangeable?
2. for a shadetree mechanic with the usual craftsman tool box, can I remove 
and replace them?
3. the rear brakes are slightly modified - I've got the Morgan brake 
calipers - how does that affect things?

thanks in advance!
