The two biggest concerns (I'm told) are water getting into the hub and the bolts coming loose. Since it was 8:30pm when I started to work on my hubs, only Autozone was open and no paper gaskets. So I went with the messy silicone stuff (not the one found in Pamela Anderson!

). While there I picked up some loctite as well to keep the bolts from running away.

Well, 1.5 hours later, my rig was on all fours with some schweeeet Warn Premium Hubs. I haven't taken it wheeling yet, but it should work with no problem.

FYI, these were used hubs, so I didn't have any gaskets at all. I don't know if newly bought ones come with gaskets. But at half the price ($75), sticky silicone is fine with me...

Gotcha

I saw some on ebay for $99 new in box with another package of gaskets so that must be it. Yeh...they are definately going to be my latest addition as soon as I get the cash saved up.

Enjoy and take your time. There are some really good instructions on the tech section of this forum. See the Warn instructions, not the Asin one.

Oh, someone asked why Warn and not Aisin. ANSWER: I'm just too lazy to rebuild the Asin hubs.

Perfect timing for this thread to come up for me.
I have a set due here on Monday

I just blew open a 4 month old boot, that was the last straw.

I finally found the time to install these this afternoon. Everything was plug and play so to speak. We'll see how well the nuts stay on, I'll keep a 12mm wrench in the truck just in case.

Rachel took a candid photo of me putting them on without my knowledge:

The final product, looks alright eh?:

Hurray!
