Front Hub Carnage(pics). Need help on replacing parts.
So Yesterday I was headed out of town for some snow wheeling and forgot one of my font hubs was locked and the other wasnt. So by the time i got up to the trail that locked hub was so HOT it burned the crap outta my finger the second I touched it. So i threw some snow on it and the snow almost instantly evaporated. I tried to unlock it and it was hard as hell to turn and felt like all the grease had burned up and was all sticky and fugged up. I tried locking the other hub to see if the four wheel drive still worked and NO!
Then I started to drive back home slow with both the hubs unlocked . Half way back I felt the front tire scraping and making noises. When I got out the front wheel bearing had gavin out and the tire was all crooked. So i parked it and got a dolly today and got it in my garage now.
I need help on dissasembling my front hub and replacing a few parts. Is there a write up on how to do front hub work?
Thanks
