another auto hub queston...

OK, so I swapped out my auto hubs with Warn Premium hubs

My question: Do I need to block off the vaccumn lines or can I just leave them connected???



Thanks,
Rob

It's the only way to go, imo. Or should I say - that's how I'd do it.

Rob,

Welcome to FTE!

Defintely block off the vac lines. They'll still be applying vaccum to the hub area when you go to 4x if you don't. While this won't casue any immediate harm, it "can" cause the seals to eventually fails causing you to bring in some unwanted junk, or worse cause your A/C controls to act screwy if you do get a leak in those lines.

For each side: 1/8" x 1" machine screw, a 3/16" vacuum cap and 2 wire ties and you'll have no worries.
