Is there any place than can rebuild the rear hubs on m y Spitfire? (bearings making noise)? I've heard that its not an easy job and requires special tools?

I just got my rebuilt TR6 hubs from them a few weeks ago, they are fantastic. Ask for Tom, he owns the place. He doesn't rebuild them himself but he gets them from a friend of his in Florida I believe. You should be able to just exchange yours for a set of rebuilt ones. The charge is more obviously if your cores are not rebuildable.
 
The only task that's hard is removing the hub from the axle. It takes a special puller. Using a regular type puller will bend the hub flange. A machine shop I used years ago I ruined the first set. I found a guy in our sports car club that had a puller made at his place of business that worked perfectly. It was a little tough even with that puller.
 
You might want to contact Scott Howell at High Point Imports. He has done hubs for 6's for several on this site. I have been to his shop and saw a couple of spits there. He was very good to work with. Quick turn around on you shipment. Helped me out with a core when we discovered one axle stub had been shortened by DPO. His email is HPimports@webtv.com
 
I'll second the recommendation on Scotts work. He did the hubs on my TR6 a few years ago, came back looking like new with only a one week turn around, and definitely less expensive than TRF.
