4wd ?

Highlights Only
4wd ?
cool cj ill try that next time. i wish it would warm up so i could get the hubs off.
 
I take it you can't get it into a garage or anything. Did you see my suggestion on a heat gun or a hair dryer to try and melt some of that frozen grease?
 
i might have to try that next weekend.
 
theres just something about running a cord through snow to my jeep that im not feeling good about.

LOL - If your not worried about the paint on your hubs, a propane torch works very well also...

Something like this.

the 'scuff'-ing of the tires is when its already in 4wd and you make a hard turn, the tires will kind of feel like they are sliding or sometimes the front will jump around a bunch. This doesn't happen when you are putting it in 4wd, but afterwards.
 
the paint is shot on the hubs. thanks for the idea cj.
 
finally got a pic of my hubs.
 
Ahh... Selectro / Husky hubs. Never rebuilt any but they should be about as easy as Warn. MileMarker took over the company or bought the rights or something like that. I have seen and used them before and from what I uderstand they are good hubs. Did you ever get them free?

I definately would rebuild them.

Here is a page for them and I'm sure if you contact MM thay can tell you who to buy a kit from. --->>> Mile Marker Hubs

BTW - Might want to be careful with that torch thing... If I remember correctly there are o rings in them there hubs, too much heat and you could harden the o ring even more then it is.
 
i order some used warn ones off of ebay. bad thing is i go in for foot surgery tomarrow and will be out for 3 weeks.
 
Is the foot surgery planned? I hope all is OK and goes well.

As far as the hubs go, they are good hubs. Might want to hang onto them or even sell them.

Good to hear your surgery went well. Time to go get a creeper seat so you can work on the hubs w/out being on your feet!:D

i asked my wife. she said no.:( i hope my foot heals quick. i want to get the 4wd working. i hope this fixes it. if not i got to look at the linkage and tcase. this thing sat for years. what should i use to lube the linkage. it probally needs it anyway.
 
do you have to get the snap ring off from the back?
 
never mind she got them on. im so proud of her.:chug: now we just need to get the module done to see if the hubs where the problem. the old ones had all kinds of rusty gunk in them. once we get the jeep fired up i hope that fixes the 4wd problem.
