Hello,
I’m familiar with the old style hub with the removable centre, but this 1998 fixed one has me stumped. It all started with a very hard to turn dial, and clicking when in FREE.
I started to take it apart, popped out the coiled lock ring thing and the white rubber/plastic peice. Then I took out the spring, the metal part that goes over the CV spline and the gear that surrounds that.
This is where I’m stumped. The dial is still very very hard to turn and I can’t disassemble it any further. I have everything soaking in some paint thinner hoping that will loosen it up. The hub is clicking when I spin the wheel or spin my finger inside with it the hub off. It works fine but the clicking really irritates me. I hope it can be saved...
Can I slap on an old style 2 peice hub from a 97 sidekick?? I have a few kicking around but I’d have to swap 2 so they match.
Thanks!
