I have the new OME coils in the back, but wanted to clean up and install the hubs that I've been saving back before I do the BJ install. Now I can find only one of the springs that fits behind the ball for the selector.

Anyone have another spring from an old destroyed hub?

 

I needed the same spring when I did my SAS since one of them were missing. I went everywhere, all of the Yota shops in San Diego andi if you go to a dealer, that sping isn't part of the rebuild kit and they dont have a part number for it. If you dont find one I'll sell you my old Warn hubs for a good price...

 

I'll try some of the industrial spring places on Monday. If I find them, I'll buy a bunch of them.

 

You cannot buy that spring from a dealer w/o buying the WHOLE dang manual hub assembly...like $250/side.

Just take the spring you got, take it out and go to some places and see if you can match it. All it has to do is be able to push the ball bearing out when you turn the dial so it keeps it in place.

My 85 was missing BOTH springs when I got it, luckily a friend sent me a set of new dials w/ springs.

 

its been a while since ive rebuilt mine so i cant really remember the width. but maybe you could cut down a spring from a pen or something? i dont know it could work...

 

Maybe use a spring from a clicker pen... if you can find one that small...

 

The spring is 1/8" diameter by 5/8" length. I'm sure I'll be able to find one at the industrial supply businesses.
