stalker Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 So my driver’s side hub was not locking in correctly and they were cheapo's anyways...so I purchased a new set of Warn hubs. I decided to do a little write up on it. To get things stared I blocked the rear tires then jacked up the front end. (you don't have to jack up the truck to do this job, I did it so i could turn the tires while checking to see how the new hubs work) Here are the old beat down plastic hubs. The cap is held in by 6 allen bolts that you need to remove. Now you need to remove the snap ring located inside the hub Next remove all the internal parts of the manual hub (gears, washer, and the spring) and wipe out and clean the inside of the hub removal is complete...

stalker Posted January 11, 2013 Author Share Posted January 11, 2013 new hubs its like night and day comparing the old and new hubs. time to install the new hubs Now slide in the new hub (nice that the hubs are all one piece) Install the new snap ring provided with the new hubs make sure the ring is completely inside the grove in the hub Install the new cap now test the new ones out...test by locking in the hub and spinning the wheel forward which turned the axle, turn dial back to free and test its release by spinning in reverse If everything locks in and out then you are finished.! Total process will take 30 min tops...scale from 1-10 on difficulty is 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
