Why not? In Canada if you go to Newfoundland the inhabitants will show you
pictures of the famous fur-bearing Cod. Perhaps your fur-bearing hub is part
of the progenitor of the modern Triumph trailing arm assembly. Back then I
assume it was known as the Dragging-Knuckle assembly. :^)

I Love it!
    Is the proper attire for this procedure an loin cloth?  'cause I have 
one and I excel at Caveman Mechanics!   I don't have a concrete floor, but I

do have a rock that I am fond of...
   Seriously, I have visions of a weakened hub failing in a long sweeping 
curve with a car already at the limits of lateral adhesion.  Could be fatal.
