[TR] TR4 bent rear hub

[Joe Curry]

Brad,
I had a bent hub once on Huxley (the Red Mk1 Spit).  But it was caused by a
Lexus SUV backing into the driver side door and putting so much force on the
rear passenger side wheel against the curb, that it bent.  I would venture
to say that it would probably be time to look for a new hub.

Just found that the left rear hub on my TR4 is bent.  Looks like
someone in the past used  a hydraulic press improperly to remove it
from the axle.

Has anyone had any luck straightening a bent hub?

Thanks,

Brad
1963 TR4
