More Stuck Brake Drum & Hub Removal 444-544

PV Guy Ron, I posted instructions for adding pictures to this forum in your original thread, but its burred too deep in your original thread. So I'm re-posting here.

I heated the hub today but still stuck. Actually things got worse, I had trouble removing the wheel studs. Two are damaged and the third one sheared off. I think I'm going to leave the hub for another time, as my original intent is to lift the body and make one good frame.

As far as your hub picture, if you still have difficulty posting, could you email them to me? Click on my Profile and you will see the email address.


Not sure what is the proper way to post, but this is what I did. The process is a little counter intuitive.

Also, the site is buggy. If you do not do thugs in the exact sequence it expects, it will not respond the same for the same action request. At times, even though I was logged in, when attempting to add a picture to the archive it would again ask for me to log in, but after that it would still not post the picture to the archive.

In addition, I have the very top of my web page cut off, only showing a sliver of the login boxes. Makes it difficult to log in. It also cuts off the tabs for various vehicle groups

Try following the sequences below and don’t give up. If it does not work, I find its best to log out of the page and start again from the begging. Like I said, its buggy and counter intuitive, but dont give up. I’m sure you will figure it out.

1. Login to brickboard
2. On the top menu in brickboard, there is a pull down selection box. If it is not showing “—more—“, then click on the pull down arrow and select “—more—“. It appears, if you do not do this, the pull down will not function as expected.
3. Now, in the same pull down menu, click on “Brick Pix”
4. This should take you to the BrickPix screen. Scroll down and just before the pictures appear, there is a box with a greyed in row with the text “[ADD NEW EXHIBIT]”.
5. Click on [ADD NEW EXHIBIT]. A new BrickPix page should appear with a number of options below, including a note regarding the picture.
6. In the “YOUR IMAGE FILE” row, click on “Choose File”. This should bring up your file explorer.
7. Go to the location where you have your pictures and click on the one you want to add. You can only add one at a time. If your picture file size is very large, it may not load. If you have this problem, you may need to resize your pictures so the file size is small. There are free picture re-sizer applications on the net.
8. Again, I’ve also notices that if you do not do the above sequence in order, i.e. going back and forth on the page, the picture will not be attached. If this happens, click on the top menu “BB in a circle wit right arrow” and follow the step as above with no exception.
9. Now you can fill in the next rows if you want, “CAR NAME/SUBJECT”, “MILEAGE”
10. On the next row, on the pull downs, select your MODEL/YEAR
11. On the “PICTURE TYPE” row, in the pull down select the appropriate option. In most of our cases its “TECHNICAL”.
12. Under the NOTE section write your comment about the picture.


--- This above is only to make the picture available for your post or reply.

1. Now back at the brickboard main page, click on the “BB in a circle with right arrow” and select “Rear Wheel Drive” from the pull down menu.
2. Select the “444-544” tab
3. Either select “POST NEW MESSAGE” or open a thread and select “REPLY TO THIS MESSAGE”
4. In either case, the Post or Reply window should open.
5. In the SUBJECT row, write your subject
6. Next row down, select your MODEL/YEAR
7. Write your comments in the message
8. At the bottom of the box in the “IMAGE URL *” row, click on [(IMAGE LIBRARY (UPLOAD/SELECT)]
9. This should take you to the Brick Pix page.
10. Click on [SHOW MY EXHIBITS]. Here you should find your pictures you have uploaded. Click on a picture. The window should go back to your post and now show the link to the picture you attached.
11. Submint your reply and the picture should show up in your reply.
