Removing the auto-locks?
Seems the "hub" issue touched a nerve with some,sorry.
I guess it depends on how often you go off road,I don't get to as much as I would like to,living in San Antonio there's not too many places to go except
"devils den" which is'nt bad and its about the only place you don't have to look
for patriotic lights behind you or land owners with shotguns.
Anywho,I need to replace my rotors and I know you have to remove the auto-locks,Does that require a spicific tool and does anyone have any advice on removing them?

Thanks Drizz I'll bookmark that page, it has some great pics,I may just replace the auto-locks while i'm replacing the rotors that page makes it look pretty easy but with the way my luck is I'll still take it slow.

i replaced my auto lockers with some warn standards took about a 1hour on the drivers side figuring it out and 10 mins on the passenger side! really easy.
A lot of people say remove the autolockers and replace them with some manuals i recommend warn standard. or premium if you want to spend the money.
it goes first time you get stranded with the auto locking hubs you will say damn these suck. i said the same thing when i had problems in the snow with a stock bronco.
not a stock front end any more hehe. change them. you spend 10secs getting out and turning 2 **** and you know you will have 4x4 when you engage your tcase

from advance auto as the only place were i could get them it was $70.00 for both and $90.00 for the premiums i think. there a a few sites were you can get them for $59.00 but you end up spending $10 on shipping and you wait about a week and a half. do some shopping at your auto parts stores.
P/N # 9790 (standard)
P/N # 2090 (i think. premium)
for 86-96 i think for broncos
