Elusor, I think you should put your location in your profile so that people will know that English is not your native language. It might make things go a bit smoother.

As for your question, I don't know why anyone would want to do what you are doing, but I'm sure it *could* be done, though not very efficient. And a decent front hub can be had for just a few dollars, so why waste a perfectly good rear hub. (?)

Not a good plan. Rear hubs are quite a bit wider so it won't fit easily between the fork blades.
