Rear Axle Hub Help...

[rw1984]

Ok, I finally managed to get the brakes and hub off drivers side. Issue is 2 of the 6 bolts are mushroomed. Is online the only place to find replacements? This thing hasn't been touch in many, many years lol. Also, the hub wiggle little bit on the shaft before removal, would it need replaced? Didn't see any pitting or chunks missing., bearing looks good too.

This site sells what you need. If the hub was loose on the splines both the hub and shaft probably needs to be replaced.

I need to replace a seal on my 8N this Winter. I have always read that the shaft was rare to need to replace but if the hub was loose that you should replace it?

Is this the Inner & Outer Seals?

Here is a link with great info

Rear Axle Seals - Ford Fordson Collectors Association

Rear axle seals leaking gear lube onto the rear brake shoes and onto the wheel rim is very common on 8Ns, especially the early models before the added inner seal.

And here is text from service manual suggesting match marking hub to axle spline
