Safari free wheeling hubs.

Post by mikee »

Hi I will try this here as well.I have swapped front diffs in my truck (Y60 Safari) but the original diff was auto hubs the replacement came with no hubs but hex style nut on wheel bearings.I have some auto/lock style hubs the wheel brace type I fitted but they seem to lock but the auto function does'nt work.I'm not bothered by that but dont know if its ok or if the locking function will fail at some stage.Any help or pics will be appreciated,thanks Mike.

No I don't think so they came as a assembly and when I put them in auto the centre comes out,cleaned and oiled that pushed it back in and turned it to lock to hold it all together and put them on.So is there more bits I need to find and fit,cheers Coxsy.
