ABSTRACT:
A wheel hub assembly comprises a spindle including a shank having a first longitudinal spline, a threaded portion and a mount flange adapted for connection to a vehicle drive train. A cylindrical wheel hub adapted to mount a wheel is coaxial of and surrounds the spindle. Bearings are interposed between the spindle and wheel hub supportably and retainingly engaging the hub. A fastener upon the threaded portion retainingly engages the bearings, retaining the hub against endwise movement. A second spline upon the interior of the hub is spaced from the first spline, and a drive key having inner and outer longitudinal splines thereon is interlocked with the first and second splines respectively, whereby the spindle the hub rotate in unison. The key is adapted to transmit a drive torque from the spindle to the hub. On removal of the drive key, the hub is journaled upon the spindle for free rotation independently of the spindle.
