Rear hub won't turn
I know, wrong place to ask...but! I changed the brakes over to juice. All went well until I installed the tire on the right rear. Wheel turns free until I tighten the lug bolts. Any ideas on what to be looking at? Hubs and drums are all new from speedway. I ask same question on the HAMB and got no answers.
Thanks Jim

Re: Rear hub won't turn
I would suggest going over to the HAMB, and search for monthly banger meet. The procedure is there to clearance the brake drums

Re: Rear hub won't turn
lots of issues that can be possibilities in doing these conversions. brake drum/backing plate issues, etc. I don't want to reinvent the wheel so I think checking out the HAMB is a good start suggestion.

Re: Rear hub won't turn
I would compare the right rear drum and brake assy. to the left rear assy. which is working properly,this might show you what the problem is.

Re: Rear hub won't turn
Also, are you using the adapter/spacer between the hyd. drum and the wire wheels? Very much needed for the wheels to seat properly.

Re: Rear hub won't turn
Thanks guys for all the suggestions. I bought the early Ford hubs and drums from Speedway. Backing plates the were the 41 style. After taking several dimensions, I do believe the hubs are locking up on the backing plates. I will have them cut down 1/8" and see if that is enough clearance. I did use the wheel adapters for the wire wheels.
Thanks again for all the help. Jim

Re: Rear hub won't turn
If you put a axle shim on the axle it will move the drum away from backing plate

Re: Rear hub won't turn
I had the drums cut 1/8" and it did turn better but still a little tight. Where does one find axle shims? It's getting better but still needs a little tweeking. Thanks again for all the help.

Re: Rear hub won't turn
I had to clearance the rear drums. I did a 2 part clearance. took some off backing plate lip and some off the valley in the lip on the drums. You can use machinist dye or paint to see where it is rubbing. In my opinion shims are not the best way to do it. You lose the solid contact between axle and hub taper.
