Manual Hub Conversion
On my 1990 Big Bronco, With the TCase in 4x4, my front driveshaft spins, the front axle spins, but the wheels don't. Driving this way is very noisy. Am I correct in guessing its the the hubs. How hard is it to replace the auto locking ones with manuals. How do I do it?

yep sounds like the hubs to me, replacing them is simple buy the hubs from your local parts store, take the old ones out, and put the new onex in nothin to it just like when you remove them to repack the wheel bearings.

special socket? Ball joints? huh what are you working on? in order to get the hubs out you should need an allen wrench, and a way to remove the two snap rings. You only need the special socket to get to the bearings if you are repacking, or replacing them, but not to replace the hubs.
