Hello, can someone help me? I'm assembling the spindle/drum and the part nr 39 on the pic below is missed.
I would like to know if it's easy to find this part for sale or if it's possible to replace it with a regular washer.
Could someone please let me know the measurements of this part? Pics are welcome too... :wink:
Barndoor Spare Parts List call this part as a "extractor ring". But for me it seems like a spacer.
I really appreciate your help.

I’m interested to see photos and measurements as well. I can’t recall having run across one before.

Interesting that they picture the inner bearing spacer without a step - was there a special spacer and a special wheel bearing seal to go with this extractor?

My 53/54 workshop manual mentions them using the spacer at various intervals.

maybe check with Beefcake as he disassembles "The Lind"s NOS beam?

Here you go, the "elusive" extractor ring, part number 211 405 649:

Outer diameter 72mm:

Inner diameter 55,5mm:

Thickness 2mm:

Sits flush with the inner race of the wheel bearing:

Would that ring be installed to prevent a majority of cover for the inner wheel bearing so the grease doesn’t overcome the wheel seal? Remember...these were designed with cotton grease seals.

Hello
yes I think this is the point. If you look in a later repair manual from 1959, you will find the same cotton grease seals without this extractor ring, but with a better instruction how to prepare the seasl and which grease specification you have to take (high temperature).
