I'm not sure why this is but my left 4wd hub is easy to turn and the right one is very hard to turn. Do I need to replace the right one to make it work as well as the left one? or is there is a way to fix.
Need info
thanks

 

No you don't need to replace it. Just take it off and soak it in a pan of transmission fluid for a while. Take it out and work it back and forth until it frees up. If you need to put it back in and soak it some more and work it again. Then dry them off and put a VERY LIGHT COAT of grease on them and put them back on. You might as well do both of them while your at it. To keep them free go out and turn them a few times every month. If they start tightening back up just clean them again.

I second that motion!! you'll never have an issue! definetly worth the $170-$200!!

 

Then all you have to do is get out in the mud and lock the hubs when you need them. I'm one of the lazy people who like to sit in the warm dry truck and flip a switch to have 4wd. I know it isn't as exciting as stomping in the mud, snow or rain to lock them, but i'll have to live with less excitement.

I don't think Bill has ESOF

 

The hubs should be cleaned once a yr anyway ESOF or not.
