Warn manual hubs don't fit.

[Yendor]

I bought a set of Warn manual hubs off another member here and when I tried to install them, they would not fit on the spindle. I tried both hubs, thinking there would be left and right specific hubs, but still no go. Did I buy hubs that are for a different year Pathfinder?

[ahardb0dy]

do you know the part number for the hubs you bought?

Count the splines on the Warn hub. There will probably be 27. the 95 model year has 28

Yep, probably a spline issue...

I just counted the splines. 27.

Well, that sucks.

It didn't even occur to me to look for that when I bought them.

Look for them in the for sale section soon.

I read in a recent thread that you can buy the splined piece as a replacement part from Warn to make them 28 spline. Apparently they also make a 'weak' splined piece that's designed the fail before a CV grenades. The 'weak' version is cheap and disposable: You're supposed to carry spares so you can replace them on the trail should you break one. I see the logic in that fixing a hub on the trail is easier than replacing a CV you probably don't have with you, but I'm not adding any deliberate failure points to my Pathy!

 

 

Here it is: Warn 27 to 28 spline conversion
