Automatic Hubs
My auto hubs ain't been engaging and I finally tore in to them now that deer season is over. After dismantleing the hubs I found a plastic ring with teeth and notches that had a spring wrapped around it. It was located behind the cam assembly and in front of the bearing retainer. On the drivers side hub, the plastic ring was in 5 pieces, on the passenger's it was intact but had a groove worn in around the side.
I hope if I can replace this piece with an upgraded steel piece that my Auto's will work again. They have worked well for the past 12 years and definately have me spoiled by their convenience.
I know everyone says to throw them in the lake and go manual, but I want to give this a try one time.
If this don't work then its trying to decide between
Superwinch, Warn, or MileMarker.
Thank you, Saxon
