Separated hub is repaired. Pressed out the ten wheel studs, disassembled the hub and flange. Took it down to a machine shop where they chocked it up in a lathe and shaved the rough parts on the inside, welded it back together on the inside and then back to the lathe for a redress on the outside flange face and hub OD and balance the entire drum assy. Looks great, already turned the drum for the rebuilt shoes. In fact, it was the drum turn that discovered the broken hub and flange, wobbled all over the place when we tried to turn the drum surface. This time it turned straight and true and the brake machinist congratulated the weld machinist for the quality of repairs. Bearings and brakes should last now.
