I am sure it would be a fortune.

Nice build you have there.

Don't mess with those two screws unless you need to replace the drum. there are pics of the hub and drum in my other build thread.

To service the bearings, you just need to remove the grease cap, cotter pin (nut retainer), and nut. This should allow you to pull the entire hub assembly off. You will need a piece of sturdy pvc pipe to pound the grease seal out (or pry it out).

Anytime I pull a hub now I make sure to have new grease seals, cotter pins, grease caps, and nuts on hand.

Hey Ragnar, where do you get the cotter pins, grease caps, nuts, etc? I'm doing a m101a3 build right now, and I need to services the hubs. I've been following your other build as well, I'll be stealing some of your ideas! Thanks.

Etrailer for caps and seals. Auto parts store for cotter pins. Etrailer sells a few different brands of the size. I prefer the brand that are zinc plates and are sold as a pair. If I remember I will check my notes and post a link/part number.
