Lock Out Hubs

[bill monahan]

Has anyone installed lock out hubs (like the ones from Midwest Military) on their M-37. How simple is it? Do I need special tools, like a hub wrench?

It's a very easy job Bill, no special tools, just sealant, spanners (or sockets ), a gasket for each side (fun to make your own) and about 20 minutes a side to carry out the swap......

Thanks MM, didn't know if I even had to jack it up or even take the wheels off, hee.

Nope, so simple even a monkey can do it

Hey, I resemble that remark......

I'd use RTV Silicone instead of the paper gaskets, but that's been talked about on here before...

As the others have said, easy easy procedure to do!

Good luck!

Thanks again everyone, think RTV is the way to go.

I use a thin gasket (20 to 40 thou) AND sealant to take up any tiny imperfections and make for a snug fit, just my preference though, and after the stub and axle disaster resulting in a trashed axle housing I treat gaskets and their presence with more respect

One other tip, Make sure the truck is NOT in 4 wheel drive.
