Re: Model T hubs
You only need spoke press if you are changing spokes.
To change a wheel from rear to front you only need to change the hub. Take out the bolts. Put the wheel on a 5 gallon bucket with the hubcap part of the hub facing up. Use a rawhide or dead blow plastic mallet to drive the hub into the bucket. A block of wood is a good idea to protect the hubcap threads.
To install the desired hub flip the wheel over on the bucket and use the mallet again to install the hub. Put the new bolts in. Peen the bolts so they cannot loosen.
