How common is it to break manual hubs?
I've seen a few pictures of broken hubs and hear people talking about "rebuilding"
How often do these things break?
What kind of conditions does it fail under?
Thanks

Depends on what kind of hub it is and what kind of use/abuse it is getting. Aisin hubs (stock Toyota hubs) are pretty beefy. Some of the well-known aftermarket hubs are a lot less reliable, even though they have less moving parts. It also probably depends whether or not you have a locker, big motor, etc.

aisin hubs are the best ones you can get for toyotas, period.
the only cases i've heard of them breaking in is when used on the rear axle in a full float application. drive flanges are better for that. most of the time, the studs and dowel pins will get sheared off, and the hub will remain intact. but that's something 99% of people here will never have to worry about
