Replacing the Cush Rubbers

I just filed the lugs down to the Old dimensions and repainted the drum before I turned out the lights in the cave. I'll try and fit it up tomorrow and give you an update on how the wheel goes back on.
I kind of like the idea that I can put a patch on a flat rear wheel 300 miles from nowhere with a basic tool kit.

I hope that does the trick.

There is also the 2 sizes of dummy axels and/or the need to turn it down .056 if going to a double sealed bearing.

I had the same problem. Luckily, my wife who works out and is very strong, was able to help. I pulled from the brake side while holding the assembly together, and she pushed from the opposite side until there was enough room to squeeze the spacer in. From there I was able to tap it in to place and get the axle in.
