'71 Cush Drive - Hub to Sprocket not flush

hobot said:

Some double row bearings width require relieving depth in drum bore and leaving out the crappy sealing items, so maybe prior owner did not know this or mentioned here.

The problem has already been found. There shouldn't have been a double-row bearing in the ('71) hub.

What do you fellas think about the push-in vs staked-in felt retainer?

Push-in type is easier to fit and replace. When using 'sealed' (2RS) bearings it has been suggested that the felts and retainers are no longer required.

After trying the later the push in dished retainers, 063012, I don't like them. They pop out too easily, sometimes on their own. That has been my experience anyway on the drum and hub. I prefer the earlier staked-in version 067751, which will hold tight even without being staked in.
