Straightening pushed in alloy skyway hub/rebuilding suntour coaster brake
Oldboyburner:
I use a press at work to push flange on skyway out
Works a treat
Sid1972:
I have done them with a small copper drive, through the spindle hole just to tap them back out.
Worked a treat. ;)

I'm going to have a random front black tuff in the very near future with nice and straight hubs! Going to be a couple of weeks as i'm off on my hols in a couple of days. Let me know if you're interested and i'll sort you something out when I get back :daumenhoch:

Thanks for the replys!
Sid- im trying to get my head around how to do this, by doing what you suggest, wouldnt it push the other side in as you're hitting it? I don't have access to a press, but ideally need something to push them all out from the centre so they are even. Can you let me know how you did it in a bit more detail...Fuzzy sunday morning head !:crazy2:
Bfellows- I already have an orphan alloy hubbed front tuff, but it has the skyway lettering on the braking surface, so won't make an exact pair..If the price is good i may be interested, but i'm getting slightly overwhelmed with wheels at the minute, keep me posted :daumenhoch:
Bfellows:
I feel your pain.......
If you do decide to drill out I have a spare alloy hub as well :daumenhoch: I'm sure we can do swapsies or something......
