One of my hubs requires channel locks to turn them and I always manually lock my hubs not relying on the esof. I have been searching for a service kit and have come up empty. I contacted Warn technical service and after several emails back and forth this is the final outcome:

Robert,

Thanks for the feedback.

To clarify your statements and answer your final questions; there are no aftermarket service kits available from Warn Industries for your Ford owned and licensed, OEM hubs, that were installed on your the truck, on the assembly-line in Dearborn, Michigan at the Ford River Rouge Complex and are licensed Ford product we supplied as an OE manufacturer.. In order to honor our agreements and maintain our relations with the vehicle manufacturers in which we support, Warn Industries will never release service kits for any OEM related part to the Aftermarket channel.

If you would like to obtain replacement OEM hubs or any OEM replacement parts for your Ford truck, please consult your local Ford dealer.

As far as new product releases are concerned, I believe most manufacturers across the board in nearly all industries, practice the technique of notifying their customer-base of new product that will be available.

Regards,

Jacob Pruett

As of right now my only choice is to purchase a new hub from the dealer. Warn website lists a new premium hub for 05-present but is not available yet.
I took it apart but can not get to the **** mechanics without doing some damage. Any ideas?

 

What year is your truck? If it is 05 or newer I saw a thread a day ago that says WARN now offers aftermarket hubs on there website. They look tough.

Here you go.

08 .......As I stated above Warn website lists a new premium hub for 05-present but is not available yet. Available Feb-Mar. I have a problem now.

 

Didn't see the dates available. My bad.
