Hi, my friend had an extra set of Aisin manual locking hubs that he salvaged off of one of his old Toyotas. I was going to take them off his hands and put them on my truck because I might get better fuel economy and I just don't like the automatic disconnecting crap in general. Before I do, I just need to know how difficult and time consuming they are to install. He said they are difficult because of some cone shaped washers you have to remove, but are a pain in the rear to remove. I don't want it to be very time comsuming because I go to college on the weekdays and work on the weekends so my truck needs to be in commission everyday. Thanks in advance.

There's lots more if you google.

 

Also, which model trucks do you both have; there are different spline count on the older versus newer, if I'm not mistaken...

 

I have a 93 Xtracab SR5 with the 3VZE and a 5 speed

 

what year and type vehicle did the hubs come off of!!! it should be pretty easy and even if you dont get it finished at the moment you can drive without them on and it will be fine. i did that on mine
