I had an elderly gentleman and his wife come to me and ask that question. They were surprised that I said It can't be fixed and they will have to let me build them a new one. They thought that maybe I could just weld it back together for them so they could continue their trip. Believe it or not they made from New Hampshire to Florida before it broke. I built them a new axle but reused the hubs, I just sand blasted them, replaced the bearings, races, and wheel studs and painted it. Had them back on the road in about 1 1/2 hours. Dave

Taking advantage of the blue hairs just put some of that weld stuff on it and send them down the road
It is a wounder they made it out the drive way let alone all the way to the sunshine mekkah.
