Straightening pushed in alloy skyway hub/rebuilding suntour coaster brake

<< < (4/6) > >>

All done. Cleaned and put back together. Spins smoothly and is nice and true. Job done!

The only slight issue is that one of the bearing cups wouldn't go in flush with the hub and is proud by a couple of mm.  It wouldn't go in any further, and i didn't want to whack it harder and  risk crushing the hub again :uglystupid2:

It's not perfect, but its as good as i think i'll get it. :)

Good job, I would be tempted to keep going. As for the bearing cup, flat piece of wood over it and knock it back in. U will not dish it back in, trust me.  :daumenhoch:

Hi laidback, if your coaster is the 4 shoe variety I'm pretty sure I have a decent replacement part somewhere, though not going to be able to get to it until the weekend. If you don't mind hanging on till then you're more than welcome to have it

Kang, you are a star, you've cheered me up on a miserable Monday morning! Yes it's a four shoe brake. I'll send you a PM :daumenhoch:

   Figured the hub would have cracked but I guess the flanges arent as tough as I thought they were. Good job.
