Mile Marker hub install

Just Got Mile Marker manual hubs this week and installed the today. This was one of the easiest mod's I have done.


First remove the center cap.
Then remove the snap ring that holds the factory hub on.



Next pull the factory hub out. Mine came out pretty easy. Some you may have to help out.


Then remove the 2 screws that hold outside hub housing on and sit it aside.



Install the Mile Marker hub into the axle. You'll have to wiggle some to get the splines to line up.


Push it in as far as it will go. Then install the retaining ring. Put in the open end first.




And finally reinstall outside hub housing.


The total job took about a half an hour. That includes set up and clean up. If you have the vaccum line still you should cap them off so you won't have a vaccum leak.

Was having issues with the auto locking not locking and couldn't lock them in manually. The Mile markers was only were $130 and factory hubs are close to $400

Correct. But you obviously assume I read every single thread in the forum.

All ribbing and kidding aside, if anyone see's a thread like this and you think it warrants inclusion in the tech folder, please send me a PM and give me a heads up.

Eric- Where did you purchase the hubs at? They look sharp and since the auto function on mine doesn't work it would almost be worth while.
