Warn hub locked up

My drivers' side Warn hub lock is froze up. Looks kinda beat up. I'm ordering some new ones and am wondering if there's anything else I should worry about. Could the hub be damaged? Any odds and ends that don't come with I might need? Any advice to save me some stress?
Thanks!

Get a rebuild kit for the old ones to keep as a spare.

Pop off and pop on. Is all I had to do.

Love the Warn hubs, but the six allen bolts might fight you coming off. I’ve seen them snap off in the aluminum. Not a big deal at all if you’re replacing the warn hub. In the past I’ve replaced the bolts with stainless ones and some antisieze.

With any selectable hub I don’t think it’s a bad idea to go through them every year or so and just give them a good once over especially if you live in salty winter conditions like I do. YMMV.
