A few question about Harden hubs (as seen at http://www.classicrendezvous.com/British/harden%20_2.htm)

1. Are these hubs any more prone to failure than other hubs?

2. Are there any sure signs of imminent failure? What would "stretch marks" on the radius between the center and the flange mean? The one I have has radiating marks all the way around the inside corner of a flange.

2. How are the bearings removed/replaced?

3. Anybody have maintenance instructions?

4. Anybody have exploded view drawings?

5. Are there any sources for Harden hubs and parts (aside from ebay)?
