Heh, I am actually having the same problem with my hub not wanting to unlock... and also my follower pawl is mangled as well...

The flat side of the big spring goes against the pawl, not the dial.

What does that mean? Doesn't the big spring go in between the pawl and the dial?

Light grease, just enough to coat the parts lightly. Too much grease and it sticks...took apart some the other day...and the pawl would not move cause of so much grease.

Take the big spring out and set it on a flat surface. One side is flat and the spring will sit vertical. The other end is not flat and the spring will sit like the leaning tower of Pisa.

Flat end goes next to the pawl, not the dial.

ahh, I get it... what happens if you put the spring in backwards? Could that be what's keeping my hub from unlocking?

Your truck will implode.

Yes, if you put the big spring in upside down the hub won't work properly.

flashkl · 10-26-2008, 05:47 PM

Hmm, better fix that spring soon then. I once had a civic implode on me after I put spinners on it, wasn't pretty...

iamsuperbleeder · 10-26-2008, 06:52 PM

I didn't realize there was a correct and incorrect orientaion (spelling) to that big spring??? Mine work properly after my rebuild, so I assume all is well...

And oh yeah, untill you place the hub cover and dial on the body, it's no going to move to it's proper locking and unlocking positions; the hub body keeps everything in line and on track... it's hard to explain really, but once you bolt it together things move like they should... assuming it's put together right...

I do have a question though...

Does anyone know where you can purchase nice looking replacement bolts for the hub cover? Stainless steel maybe? After the rebuild, I have these pretty red and black painted hub cover and dial, and these ugly rusted up bolts holding it on...

Ha, lol.
nice.
Well downey supplied new face bolts with my gaskets and o rings.
But the ones that hold the hub to the body are not.
No biggie really.
Why dont you just pull up to a hardware store, pull one of each bolts, head inside and get replacements ?

And yes, i figured it out it must be something about the pressure inside the hub body that makes it do what its gotta do.

if you know the thread pitch and diameter, you can get nearly anything you want, powder coated, etc...
if you're looking for stainless, first place I'd look is a fastenal dealer.

Oh, there's a Fastenal about 3 minutes down the road from me! I may have to pay them a visit tomorrow after work, and step in with a bolt in my hand

thanks man!

^ Thats horrible... lol...

iamsuperbleeder · 10-26-2008, 08:49 PM

oh, lmao, ok then...

hmmwv15 · 10-27-2008, 07:50 PM

I painted my dials black, so it's black (the top) with the "chrome" hub body. Looks pretty good to say the least. Would look even better if I kept my wheels clean. Shoot if I kept the truck clean!

New hub for parts and trail parts

I'm trying to find a set I can rebuild and have handy in the tool box. it's just as useful as keeping spare u-joints; you hope not to have to mess with it on the trail, and you might never even have to, but you got one just in case

I'm in the process of my build (Still haven't got pics because I'm almost positive someone stole my camera while I was working on my truck not paying attention).

I was just gunna put a lil motor oil around the dial but I guess a lil grease, but not too much would be better.

This thread helped me a lot. Thanks Scuba!

NicCantDecide · 07-24-2009, 08:52 PM

I bought a set from a member on here and one works but the other doesn't.

Looking through this thread it seems that I could have too much grease in the hub (it was almost caked in there) or the spring was installed wrong. I'm gonna take it apart tomorrow and see what's up.

Thanks Scuba.

scuba · 07-24-2009, 09:41 PM

No problem nic, of you have any questions feel free to ask here...

I dont care what that says .. there is only 1 spring .

If you look closly at the spring ... you'll see where the 2 ends broke .

I know this is an ancient post, but it still may cause confusion.

YES, there are TWO springs. One is tightly wrapped (each coil touches the last) and the other is loosely wrapped.

Bette now then never, maybe Corey can edit that for future refrence.
