How to Repair Damaged Vehicle Wheel Hubs?
1 Answers
Vehicle wheel hub damage can be repaired using the following methods: 1. Deformation Position Detection: First, locate the deformed area of the wheel hub. Mount the hub on a fixture and use a dial gauge to find and calibrate the deformed position. 2. Heating: Use a blowtorch to locally heat the deformed area. The small red dots on the hub are infrared thermometers; stop heating once the desired temperature is reached. 3. Correction: Once the hub softens at the appropriate temperature, use a small hydraulic jack for repeated slight corrections. 4. Completion. Note: If the reinforcement ribs of the wheel hub are severely deformed (left-right wobble), repair is not recommended.
