gah! one more thing i gotta buy lol. Im sitting her taking my hubs apart at the computer Now i gotta stop cuz i dont have snap ring pliers

 

Well you dont need them to clean them out good.
The parts held in with snap rings are sealed very well. You can get them in working order without taking them full apart.

 

they have a snap ring tool that you can pick up at auto zone or any other auto parts place. they look like these http://buy1.snapon.com/catalog/tools...e=snapon-store

 

Look at the pics in Jay's link and the exploded view in the link I sent you. Mine shows you pretty well what order they go in and Jay's shows you better how each part actually fits together. Stick with it as it can be confusing. I was really glad I had one still all together to look at while I worked on the other.

 

Once you "get it" they are VERY easy to work on.

I figured out everything BUT attaching the gear to the spring on my own.

 

lol get used to buying tools I just bought a tap&die set for broken body bolts and today I had to buy a spark plug thread chaser and the list gos on and on

 

I used both of the links, and thats exactly how it helped

 

right now im trying to get the internals out of the larger part of the hub. Everything slides, and ALMOST comes out..but just wont come all the way. I guess its the spring gear

 

Yeah where Jays link says "this is where it gets tricky" they aren't kidding. Getting that clutch, tensioner spring and follower pawl together right is a real PITA. That spring just doesn't want to stay put.

 

Have you talked to Brian? (WaskillyWabbit, owns WabFab) he sells these things rebuilt on his website and ready to bolt on!

 

yeah man ^ The hardest part was getting the spring into the gear and attached to the other spring... and grease just makes it worse!


Back to helping

Now where you able to get the outer bigger gear out? It should slide out without a problem, but in any case, it needs to come out to get everything working.

 

persistance! I got it out..I have them all pretty much torn down! thanks so much for your help fellas. Here you will see what im left with. I got the gear out, and you can see whats left in the hub. does that HAVE to come out?

 

Awsume!

Okay, no that bottom gear does not have to come out. Thats the gear that will "lock" things in place.

now just clean out as much as that old grease as possible, I used water and a toothbrush with plenty of rags handy.

you will see a groove cut into the gear on the inside, thats what that smaller spring winds into to hold onto it.

 

these things are darn near bone dry inside. Im gonna finish tearin them down and tomorrow soak them in degreaser. Is that a safe thing to do?

Also..I only have ONE of these.

 

Well I wouldnt soak the dial in any cemicles since it has a rubber o-ring in it.

Now you only have 1 spring, you need 2.

 

I let mine sit for a week in mineral spirits then cleaned them out and off not the dial though I took it apart and removed the O ring before soaking it.

 

Well im not concerned about gaskets and orings. IM gonna order the rebuild kit from DOWNEY. Its like $21, plus it has the nice screws to put them back together..i dont have any screws as of now.

Where can I get another of those springs?

 

Yeah for $250!! I'll take a crack at rebuilding thanks.

 

^^ exactly...I like to try to rebuild stuff..its fun. SO after a little time and help form you all...here is what I have siting infront of me

 

You can get the bolts at any hardwear store, I got mine from a place near my house.. M16x6 bolts im pretty sure.

But as far as I know you can't really buy it online, you MIGHT be able to get one from the dealership but it might be one of those things you need to go to the wreckers for.
