- There are a few different versions of the WARN locking hubs that came on the CJ5/7/8s. From 76-81, AMC used a 6 bolt wheel hub on their narrow track axles. In 82 they moved to the wide track axles and 5 bolt hubs. One thing for sure is that WARN was the company that made all the OEM hubs for AMC Jeeps. The WARN hub that I have in this video is a dealer upgrade.
In this video we take off the WARN hub and observe the neglect of POs. Note to all the restoration people out there. Don't be a bad PO.
Mine have a flat washer then a lock washer on all 6 with cap nuts.
Whatever helps them to stay on, I suppose. Sometimes with these CJs you need to go little overkill.
Standard? I am swapping Warn Hubs for the factory covers that have no lock/unlock feature. Yep, locking Hubs were an option. Yep, 43 years later my CJ5 will get what it always wanted.
Well that's cool. I'd love to see what they look like.
can you swap the 6 bolt hubs onto the 5 bolt hub axles?
I don’t think so. May not be correct, but the Dana 30 axle shafts have a different length for the 6 and 5 bolt hubs. Plus, they might have a different spline number. The 6 bolt was for the narrow tracks and I can’t remember what year they changed over to the wide track 5 bolt hub. But I may be wrong…
I see a tap in the future being inserted into that hub . The previous owner probably meant to do the same or something else is abound . The bolts were finger tightened via socket & extension for another day . May have to go up a size bolt ? That is if the hub will permit clearance. To be continued .....
Well, once I took of the hub itself, sure enough, there was a snapped of bolt. It was really easy to remove with some heat and left-handed drill bits. All the threads are clean. I've already tested out some new bolts and they fit/thread perfectly. Guess I dodged a bullet on that one.
Glad to hear it , jeep projects are work enough but rewarding . You ought to know . Also glad those left handed bits work for someone , never had too much luck but then again , I live in the northeast .
I have the same hubs. When I remove the allen bolts, the selector plate does not just come off. Feels like a spring is holding it back. And the total hub assembly won't come off either..???
Sorry so long in response. It there anyway that you still have it in 4WD? I can’t think of any reason why it won’t release unless it has bound up on the end of the axle shaft tooth. Email me at dellis6914@gmail.com and send pictures.
@@coolguy_CJ7 apparently I just wasn't pulling hard enough. Probably hasn't been apart in a long time.
U dnt have to assume.i can tell you..theyr a pain in the butt..
Last guy didnt service every 30k.
Hae 2 stripped hex heads.
Not drilling too good.those little bolts are super hard steel
Sounds like you're having fun. :)
Try and find a left handed set of drill bits. It will make it a lot easier.
Make sure they stay tight after every outing. Use locktight is a must. Mine got loose and broke of 4 studs and I need to get a new hub or drill them out or make new holes all together now. But no drill press.
I did have to drill out at least one broken bolt. A good set of drill bits and some left handed drill bits make easy work of it. I don't have a drill press either. Just go slow and methodical about it.
@@coolguy_CJ7thanks 🤦🤦🤦no wonder my dad passed down an left handed drill bit set 😂😂😂😂.
Uhh I'm so yunnng
Great video but holy cow do you talk a lot about non-essential stuff. Please just get to it.
I can respect that, but my push is that a lot of the CJ7 audience has never done anything like this before, so I try to provide as much detail as possible to help them figure things out. It works for some and not for others. Kind of like the intro theme song. :)
Some love it, others hate it.
@@coolguy_CJ7 love the video - I’m just trying to watch as many as I can as I’m rebuilding my CJ7 and just need to get to the information parts. Thank you for making them though!
Don't get me wrong. I totally appreciate the feedback. My wife says the same thing. :)
1980 was the last year for the 6 bolt!
Thanks for that. It really does seem that 81-82 was when they changed a ton of stuff. B-column on the tub, went to wide track axles, dana 300 from dana 20, 3 point seat belts, high back seats. Must have been utter chaos.
