Right in the middle of servicing the front wheel bearings and when I pull the bearings off one of the hub's I find two large gouges either from a previous catastrophic bearing failure or a catastrophic attempt at bearing removal. My question is what are the hub's made of and can they be welded? I have a TIG machine and I'm sure I could fill the divots and turn the hub round again but are the hub's heat treated?
Also during this adventure I found a generic pulled in my toolbox that worked great for pulling the bearing stack off the hub without damaging the bearings if anyone wants to get one like it I would be glad to share the information.
76 Eleganza mostly stock, Sully bags, needs one of everything.
