Like the title says. I got a 1964 c10 front drum bearing hub issue. I'm replacing the front wheel bearings and races. I got the old ones out, and the drivers side hub races back in. But the passenger side outer bearing race practically dropped into the bore and it's got wiggle room. I can free spin it in the hub bore with just a finger. No way does it catch on any part of the bore. It is the exact same part number as what I pulled out. And I did have to drive the old one out with a brass punch and hammer. It was cratered too by the way. It had a ridge worn into the face of the race plus spalling and all of the other bad signs of a worn wheel bearing.
What are my options? New hub? Peen the outside of the race and set it with some red locktite? Fo they make a repair bearing for the front on these? Oh yeah, I'm out here working on it right now sitting next to all these brand new moog parts I want to put on her.
