Very nice video and without any distracting music. Make sure you stress how important it is to get the inside and outside of the hub clean. It is a greasy job, so have lots of paper towels or clean rags handy. This was a great video about the Automatic 4wd hub. Thanks again for a nice instructive Video.
Chevy Man here.. Not going to lie, I talk mad crap about Fords but I have to say after scouring RU-vid for a video on how to disassemble these I found nothing For my 85 K5 Blazer on the subject so this is the one and only time I’ll say to a ford guy great job man and thank you for making this video, it helped me out immensely lol.
These are so much more convenient than manual hubs im so glad i kept mine. I just didnt know how to service them. I just have them in a box i assumed something was broken on them.
It's good to see someone show step by step how these come apart and put back together. I've always just replaced the hub, this is a cheaper option if it just needs lubed up to work again.
Awesome video! Thanks for the instruction. Would never have known how to take mine apart without being adventuresome. Since no one makes these anymore it is really cool that I can service them every time I service the wheel bearings. Thanks again!
I have a 1994 4x4 F150 I bought used. The cap was loose and no matter how tight I made the bolts, it would not stop wobbling for some reason. It was also leaking grease out onto the wheel when I'm driving. I watched your video, completely disassembled the passenger side and put it back together. There is no wobble now, the cap tightens up correctly. I'm not sure what was wrong with it originally but I think a ring or spacer or something was put in incorrectly by someone in the past. Thanks. The automatic 4 wheel drive works fine on this vehicle so no need to convert to Manual Locking Lugs.
all good following your instructions. Thank you for the video. My hubs had an additional spacer between the drive sleeve and the stator ring c clip. Thanks again.
@@rtgomez90 see my post below for the exploded view drawing. It's been a while since I did this so I can't remember. That exploded view will give you the reference for the stator ring. That's probably the spacer ring I was referring to. www.supermotors.net/registry/media/1053962
man you sure deserve more likes. I have literally spent weeks looking for competent videos on our style 4x4 assembly and everything came up either incomplete, incompetent, or had nothing to do with the bearing assembly, simply how to remove the lock nuts using the spanner tool. fucking geniuses... really appreciate the time you took to make this comprehensive video. Cheers.
My 92 f250 pulls good in 4x4 until a load is put on it and then it pops so loud you'd think the front end had fell off. Is that the factory original auto hubs?? It couldn't be the universal to front axles that loud I hope.
I went through both of my 1994 F-150 as you instructed and both seem to be in good working condition. However when I shift it to 4wd the light indicates 4wd but the truck is still not going into 4wd. I am thinking it could be the transfer case motor. Your thoughts?
Disassembled and reassembled, just regreasing? I guess that one little ball bearing ring could get replaced. Does that plastic part ever disintegrate? Getting ready to do mine. Thanks for the awesome video.
So ive been looking for rotor and hub kits for a 1992 f150 4x4 with automatic hubs the exact same ones from this video do bronco and f150 trucks of the 92 era have the same hub and rotors or?
Yes it is. As long as it is the automatic locking hub. I've got an 86 ford bronco 2 and it has the manual locking hubs on it, then my 94 ford f150 has the automatic ones.
Anyone know where you could pick up these hub covers with the 4 x 4 sticker on them? I have a 1993 Ford F150 super cab auto locking hubs. It looks like the same ones he has at the top of this video.
Dude I’m here for the exact same reason. I also have the exact same truck as you. Year and everything. My stickers are both faded and would be great to find new ones. Let me know if you find anything!
Good instructions. Thanks FYI you should remind your camera operator you can hear them breathing/snoring the whole time. It distracts from your instructing.
hi guys, first, thanks for the video, and I just want to know where to buy the "cap" where it is the "4x4" logo, with the spring, I need one of thouse due to mine is broken, everything else works as has to but that "cap" of mine with the spring is useless, thanks for reading
I know this video is 3 years old but after removing the locking assembly would you be able to remove the caliper and then remove the hub and rotor or is there more work to it?
Travis Compton a large but would meet to be removed off the spindle with a special socket. Then after removing the caliper and caliper bracket you would be able to remove the rotor.
What year model is this from? I've got a 92 Bronco with factory 5 bolt auto hubs and they are nothing like that. No clip and no tabs on snap ring. Internals also different.
I need new caps entirely and all I find are the more common 3-bolt and manual hubs. I've searched everywhere shy of the dark web for replacements. Any clue where I can find any so I can stop pulling my hair out?
Honestly, on these trucks, unless you are doing heavy offroading, the auto hubs are more convenient if you keep them working. That way, if you are driving and you get into a patch with low traction, you can just hit the switch/pull the lever and engage 4wd (since the t-case is SOTF).
Looking to do mine, but I'm afraid to do it without having replacement seals to put it back together with. Here's an exploded view on Supermotors www.supermotors.net/registry/media/895156 of all of the hub parts. Looks like the kit goes for around $50 but not sure if it's the right one. F6TZ-1K106-AA
Thanks for the diagram I realized the extra spacer I mentioned goes inside the cup w/ the brake band underneath the first c clip. I didnt see it in this video but mine were both stuck inside the cup. Hope your Ford is running good.
Autos are great for original trucks though. Some people like to keep their classic trucks original. I think it's great that he's showing us how to fix ours since they aren't made anymore. Just my two cents.
