Well my hub is busted. now what?

[Brandons]

So today i decided to look into why the left side has gone through yet another autohub, and the right side is still great with original (knock on wood). I popped it off and noticed right away ive got alot of mangled gears?

Heres some photos...

That picture you can see two cracks there, one in the center kinda gear, and one in the one on the outside. Chances are i could probably pry the gear apart and pull it right off, but i dont want to at the moment.

heres an image with all the cracks drawn in (just in case) in red

The problem im having is figuring out how to get the ring that holds all the gears on, off. it seems to only go half way around. Im not too sure if its actually missing or comes like that. chances are with my luck its missing.

I have a parts explorer round back that appears to be in good tact (since it got new hubs before we bought it).

I want to get this fixed tonight, but im lost on getting the ring kind of thing off. If anyone could give me some advice it would be greatly appreciated

thanks

on my 93 there are to springs that go around the cam it dosnt look like you have that. there shuld be a washer like thing that is in front of the cam but it shuld slide off then just slide the cam off

I have one sorta spring thing that goes right around.. least it looks like it, it also looks like its got some sorta break in it. Ill try and slide it off though it didnt seem like it wanted to move.

the break is just the hooks on the end do you have both sideds apart? it might help to look at the good one.

see ifthis helps, it's the brake diary for the front brakes on the first gens.

Take a peek @ Brake thread for lots of good info and pics on removing the hubs.

Thanks very much guys. (i got it all apart before the other two posts, though that brake thread is going to help me so much later on!)

I decided i shall post the pics of destroyed pieces.

So to simplify things even more, each part im using to replace is on the left, the ones that are toast are on the right.

On the second pic you can barely see the crack, sorry it is rather blurry. Also on the 2nd pic the right one is almost shiny its so warn down, were the left looks practically new.

Anyways thanks again for the help guys


Now im off to reassembly.. hopefully i can find the damn greese gun..
