Hello brand new to the forum been reading on here for a while but just signed up. I need help locating a passenger side ( or driverside I think the only difference is thread direction) wheel hub for a 9 inch rotor. The car is a slant six automatic 1964 Dodge dart I can't seem to find one anywhere. I acquired one from a 64 barracuda thinking they were the same but the bearings are different. So any help will be great I live in Massachusetts so if anyone has one local I will totally buy it off you. Thanks Rick
 
I think you mean a 9" drum? The rotors are right around 11" I believe.
 
Since those are getting tough to find, you might stipulate what is wrong. That is, with the proper procedure, you can separate the drum and actual hub. So if all you need is a drum that may or may not be easier to find

I have a couple of them. You need passenger's side so that's RH threads. Now, keep in mind the drums are swedged onto the hubs, so it will have to be drum and all, unless you want mt to remove the drum. Then you will have to remove your drum and install it on the "new" hub. It's not hard. I use a 5/8 hole saw and a drill press. You cut completely through the drum around each stud and the drum will fall off.
 
I just used a big hammer and I pressed them together with the lugs not a big deal if you do have a extra one your not doing anything with if your in Massachusetts il definitely buy it off you.

Yeah it is a very big deal. When you just beat the studs out caveman style, you ruin the hub so new studs will not press back into them. There's a correct way to do this and that ain't it.

This is why I said what I said. We STILL don't know what is wrong with your hub, and you can destroy the thing using a hammer. YOU MUST somehow remove the swedge on the stud There are tools for that, and the guy you are talking to---Rusty,--has done it with a hole saw
 
I just bought the car a few weeks ago and the passenger hub was making weird noises while driving so I jacked it up and the wheel was loose and upon taking the hub apart I found someone or somehow the inner bearing race got pressed into the center of the hub and is just wobbling around in the middle and the bearing was riding in the hub casting I can't seem to get the race out of the hub so I figured il just get a new hub and bearings but I can't seem to find the part on line not Shure if they make a replacement or not.
