Working on replacing the hub on my 1963(riding on a 1976 f150 4x4 chassis). Little engineering things like this amuse me and I’m sure it does a few of you as well!
Can you do one on an aisin hub? Mine don't have 2 inner clutches. Just one clutch and a couple springs and a pawl. I dont understand what grabs what when you lock it..
Its not like a locking diff for the fronts. All it is is either 100% connected to the driveshaft on either sides of the front axle if its a manual hub and you have them locked. Auto hubs essentially use vacuum power to lock the hubs to the axle shaft without having to get out of the truck. Only way to get a "locking front end" is to have a locking differential, the types of hubs doesnt matter because both front axle shafts are spinning together if you have a locking differential. If you had an open differential only one axle shaft on the front axle would be getting power at a time, regardless if the hubs are in the locked position; keep in mind, auto hubs and manual hubs both lock into place on the splines of the axle shafts, however the operation on how they lock into place is the only difference. Some prefer the simplicity of the manual hubs and some prefer to not get out of the truck lol. Hope this helps @jesmor3

The best explanation I’ve watched on this. Well done
Thank you. There is a long form replacement video in my full length videos if needed.
Don’t normally comment on things but 11/10 one handed explanation
good vid cheers

So does locking your hubs effectively function the same as a locking diff just for the front? If not what are the differences between the two?
I have the same question, I don't have a complete understanding of it yet

@@kaiblue5660 it does thank you
Thank you for showing us that. I'm about to take my CJ apart and figure out why they're not engaging.
You’re welcome. I have a full length video on the replacement as well.
