Alright... so far iv lifted the truck off all four wheel with the hubs locked and in 4 wheel high... my driver side rear wheel spins and thats it...
The driver side front axel spins but there is no movement at the tire while the passenger axel does nothing.... any ideas guys? i new to this and not really sure what im doin..... please help

 

What year truck, what drivetrain, do you have auto hubs, manual hubs, etc? Need a few more details...

 

86' 22r manual hubs

 

Well, if you're sure that you have the hubs in the "locked" position, there's a possibility that something's stripped inside, or it was taken apart and not put back together correctly. When I first got my 86 Hilux, the previous owner had taken apart one of the hubs and didn't put it back together correctly. Once I got it sorted out, it worked fine.

 

alright ill go rip the hubs off and see what i can find... thank you for your help..

 

Just make sure that you note how everything comes out. It's easy to get stuff mixed up. There's a possibility that it just wasn't lined up right. I'm not sure if there are any write-ups on rebuilding man hubs, but there might be. A Chilton's or Haynes would also have an exploded diagram. That's what I used to determine what was wrong with mine. Good luck!

 

rebuilding Aisin manual hubs

 

You rock, dood. That writeup from offroad.com is really detailed and well written. I wish I would have had that when I did mine!

 

the cv's are turning? sounds like the hubs

 

you do relize that you have open diffs front and rear... meaning the tire with the most reistance will NOT spin = axle not spin.

4 wheel drive (with open diffs) at best means you have 2 wheels with the least amount of traction spinning while the others sit there and do nothing. (the above is on a perfectly normal functioning 4wd system)

 

i took the hubs off and it looks as if the axel ends where they lock into the hubs has been worn down immensly. there is barely any teeth left on the axel.. the hubs are in perfect condition... you guys know of any good site to go for replacement axels?

 

ive always had to go in revers for a few inches before mine would lock with my manual hubs that might help you!

 

new complete stub shafts can be bought from your local parts house for ~$80-$90. (with CV boots attached and all)

 

if those axles were original, it's no surprise that the splines were worn down. as for manual hubs "clicking" into place, it shouldn't matter if the CV's are spinning forward or backward. do a search and you'll find that many places sell axles at a decent price with lifetime warranty. some places might not accept your core since the splines are worn.

 

no he said just one of the rear tires was spinning. With open diffs you should have 1 wheel on each axle spinning
