My bearing went out on my 1972 Road Runner. Manual drum brakes. I replaced the bearings and races but the outside race spins in the hub. I take it that this is not good. They don't sell bearing hubs at a parts store that I can find. What years are the front wheel bearing hubs the same. I'll need to find one in a salvage yard I guess. Thoughts?

Take the race out.Make sure you got the proper bearings first.If they are take a punch to the hub.Make some gouges in it not too deep.The race should go back in tight.Hubs you wont find at a parts store.There should be a good supply used being sold.Most change to disc fronts.The drums are staked to the hub also.Rocky

Look up Loctite 660 Quick Metal Retaining Compound It's designed for just that problem... Used in industrial applications all the time....

They are the correct bearings and races. They other hub seated the races just fine. The bearing on this hub disintigrated and must have warped the hub enought that the race doesn't seat. I just saw on the forums the 67 Barracuda junk yard car where they punched the bearing too. Wouldn't that be a temporary fix? Anyone know what hubs ar the same so I can look local for a hub at a salvage yard?
Take the center punch and rap/pean in several punch marks. Use some of the 'glues' mentioned above if you want but I have never had a problem not using them.

I would have thought the wheel hub would be pretty common and across all lines. Like 66-74 b,c,e,trucks, vans, maybe a bodies too?
Also I've never heard of Loctite ® 660™ Quick Metal ® Retaining Compound http://www.loctite.com.au/cps/rde/xchg/h...UID=10000009RH3
I don't know where you found that link... http://www.amazon.com/Loctite-Quick-Retaining-Compound-Repair/dp/B000O03DK0
And listen the The Ram Man for your brake hub interchange... Truck, A & C are different...
