FLANGED HUBS!!!!!

WSW has come into a handful of Clutch Flanged Hubs.
This is the little animal you need when your clutch hub nut has come loose and destroyed the splines in the flanged hub.

Flanged Hub

Nice to have it available but there was no way in hell for me to get the bearing carrier removed from the flange hub. I heated the bearing carrier and all in a lab oven then filled the center of the flange hub with liquid nitrogen several times to shrink it. Placed it in a press and could not get the bearing carrier to even budge from the flange. I sent the $80 flange hub back to Baker and we purchased a pre-assembled clutch basket assembly for $350.00. You may have better results but just be warned.

Yeah that's a bit extreme and would certainly call for a new carrier.

I heard of others with the same luck as well. Could be that the hubs were dry ice frozen before they were pressed into the bearing carrier from the BDM factory or Baker Drivetrain.

You never know.
I have replaced 10 here at my shop.
"Knock on wood" none have needed anything but pressed out so far.
