gamellott Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 In case anyone was wondering what the manual locking hubs that I got looked like: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CTWXLS3S?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title They come with no instructions, but They do go on EXACTLY the same as the OE ones. I don't think I was overlooking anything, but I couldn't get the clip that retains the center assembly on the splined shaft. It's like 1mm too long and the clip won't go in the grove. A thinner jesus clip or something like lockwire (In my case) is needed. Maybe it's just me. A lot of mixed reviews, but I think the people were just installing them wrong as I did the first time I slapped them on. I'm not fully endorsing them as being the same as or as good as the OE ones, but they look good and they seem to work fine once I figured it out. No hubcap modification needed if that's what you're trying to avoid like me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I had aftermarket wheels, sure. I have the factory Lego's that would require modifying the hubcap if I install the only other option available, which I am not really willing to do. The Cheap Chineze ones are holding out just fine. It's not like there is much of a strain on that part of the driveshaft, it's just holding it all together and preventing the guts of the hub from walking off on the shaft. Agreed that they're probably not machined enough. I might... consider cutting it down somehow if it becomes an issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
