Where to source front disk brake hub assembly.
I have looked everywhere with no luck. Where can I find a replacement front hub assembly?

New from Brazil might be available through BusDepot or JustKampers but fitment is unknown.
Nobody offers reman because there's little point in doing so. Bearings and seals are replaceable with regular hand tools, wheel studs may require a press but rarely break.

My outer race apparently got so hot that it welded itself to the hub. Never saw it happen before. I cant figure out to upload pics or I would show you. It is a sight to see. I found a good used on that other site:)... Thanks for the help.

When you say "outer race" are you using the word "outer" to describe the race that presses into the hub but is nonetheless on the inside bearing, closest to the steering knuckle? I am expecting that it was the inside driver's side bearing's outer race? Did we flirt with tragedy on our test drive?

I meant the race closest to the wheel. The larger race was intact and its bearing turning freely. Sorry still learning. Yes, we were "Rollin' down the road and flirtin' with disaster." I will take pics tomorrow,
