Removing the Rear Hub:
Part 1 >Part 2< Part 3

Here is the hub removed:

You can see the slightly tapered splines where the hub attaches, as well as the key that keeps the hub in place:

Here is the rear oil seal:

This site is intended as documentation of our experiences in fixing up our 1963 Rambler American. We put up the pictures, resources we run across, and documentation of our experiences, because we wish there was more of this on the web. There are many amateurs out there fixing up their old cars as well, and perhaps sharing our adventures will help. Copyright 2004-2008 FixRambler.com.
