Automatic Locking Hub: Installation
- To install locking hub components, first assemble 1 of 2 brake band tangs on each side of outer cage (plastic), which is located in window of inner cage (steel). It is necessary to cock these parts to engage tangs in this position as the drag sleeve is positioned against cam follower face. Install washer and snap ring.

- Start locking hub assembly into hub. Ensure large tanlines are in line with hub and axle shaft splines.
- Install retainer ring by closing ring ends with needle-nose pliers and, at the same time, push locking hub assembly into hub. Install seal bridge retainer (narrow end first).
- Install rubber seal over locking hub. Install locking hub cap assembly. Ensure ball bearing, race, spring and retainer are in proper position. Tighten Torx-R bit screws to 40-50 INCH lbs. (4.5-5.6 N.m) following tightening sequence (tighten 1, skip 1, etc.) until complete.
