I bought a five lug set up today from a local guy off craigslist. The front is a Boge set up with 3" spacing and M-calipers. I already have a pair so I will most likely be selling these off in the near future.
It's the rears that got my attention. The hubs are originally five lug, not four lug redrilled for five. The guy who sold them to me took them off a 914 he parted out a long time ago and has been storing them ever since for an eventual five lug conversion. He sold them as he has too many projects as is. Unfortunately, I'm going to be gone for a few days and won't get a chance to dig into these until next weekend. I'm wondering if I may have acquired a set up with 914/6 stub axles.

I use a simple press. It would probably pay for itself with this job. It's one of those things you can't go wrong with at HF for $99 bucks.
Step 1: Set the shelf to the proper height. Heat the shaft and press it through the fist bushing. You can see the bushing melt like butter as the hot shaft goes through it (settle down Slits). Step 2: Take a large screwdriver to the "inside" of the now exposed bushing and pry up. You should have to do this 3x before the bushing pops out. Step 3: Lower the shelf one notch, heat the shaft again and press it back through to it's original position. Step 4: Raise the shelf one notch, heat the shaft and press it the remaining way through until it pops out. Step 5: Repeat step 2. Hope that helps but... if you don't have a press or don't intend on getting one, maybe take these notes to a friend or shop that has one. Others will weigh in and tell you to burn them out and stink up your garage. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |
