To do that you got to remove the axle bearings. To remove the axle bearings you have to use a chisel and pop one or both sides of the press on axle bearing retaining ring to spread it a small amount so it’ll come off the axle. Then the bearing can come of and the brake backing plate comes off. Iinstallation is the opposite except you use a drum brake backing plates. When I used to work for BCA a thousand years ago we sold replacement press on retaining rings. So I went to the local industrial bearing distributor, they got the roller bearings, they got the seals they got the inner needle bearings I need but they say they haven’t seen a press on retainer ring in a zillion years.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></div><div class="yiv5667368721MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14pt;" class=""> </span></div><div class="yiv5667368721MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14pt;" class="">So these are Sommers Bros axles, that are probably 15-20 years old, what the heck do I do now??
