Warn hub install

[tom4bren]

OK, here are the External Clip rings that I got from Fastenal:

Here are the hubs after installation:

BTW, the 3 'extras' that I have are free to anyone who wants them. Just PM me where you want them sent.

Never did figure out why they come in packages of 5. Who would ever need an odd number???

**** it Billy, why do I have to be in class today? J/k, maybe we can test fit my Borbets once you have them installed.

[yellowgizmo99]

that's what I was thinking, if I get around to it before you leave.

I hear you, we're racking up quite a to-do list! Thanks!

I'll get them in the mail to him today.

Ya don't need the clips to test fit the Borbets. You can install a hub without the clip for the test fit - should only take about 5 minutes.

Nada

For whatever reason Warn uses the outer groove that the old auto hubs used. Aisin and Superwinch use the larger inner groove that the drive plates use.

When I had stock rims and put my superwinchs on I used a 3.5" hole saw to cut out the center cap. Looked much better then without it.



$80 for Aisins? Mine were $30 a pair at the local pull n pay here.

Now see, it's like I always say: If you're not real careful, you'll learn something new on this forum every day.

If you are grabbing hubs from a 'pick-a-part' you only need to worry about the clip rings if they are Warn hubs (Aisin and Superwinch re-use your existing clips). If the clips aren't available, don't let that stop you from getting the hubs since the clips are only a buck or two at any hardware store.
