Warn manuals

[wetneck]

installed a new set of warn manual hubs yesterday, no prob..... ran truck today, front right sounded weird and yes it was turning the shaft in free position. took it apart this eve and the assembly came apart,spring shot out and back part came apart. is this part toast, tried to reassemble, got it to work correctly but cant tighten the outer bolts to close/tighten all the way up or else it binds the handle from turning... left side works right just right has issues... dod i do something wrong?? did both exactly same.....

With the bolts tight, It would be correct if there is a very slight amount of play remaining in the hub. (you can push the hub in tighter very slightly)

You may have overtigtened the right side the first time.

The snap ring must be installed. As I was doing this project "Lone Ranger" style, I needed to apply outward pressure on the axle shaft u-joint. The only way I could quickly resolve this was to place a standard crow bar behind the u-joint and using a black rubber tie-down strap to pull tension on the crow bar. I simply hooked the other end to the Pittman arm..." read more

i installed the axel nuts and ring, the outer circlip also but after the inner hub came apart i dont think i got it back together right as it binds when its tightened back up... went together perfectly the first time, when new.... is it toast now , like i said the inner hub is not one piece now

Something isn't right. Take it apart and make sure everything was installed properly.

Good luck,
