Hub / Manual Locking, Removal & Install

How to remove & install the hub, manual locking device, bearings, etc. on the front axle of an Early Bronco. This is a Dana 44 from a 1973, but I think applies to most Ford 4x4s of that period.

Excellent! I have a '66 F100 4x4 pickup & needed to remove the hubs & all for brake work and was struggling to get it put back together in the correct sequence - especially with regard to the screw on locking rings - the one with the pin goes on first, then the ring with holes, then the second ring. You saved my day! Thanks, Dan

Nothing beats the OEM Dana/ Spicer hubs. The biggest mistake I see people make is putting the spring in backwards, which will actually cause it to bind in the hub causing them not to engage. Precise, clear video, thanks for posting.

What if you are switching from stock locking hubs to aftermarket.. I dont think anyone has done a video of that. .
