YUKON HARDCORE LOCKING HUBS INSTALL
By Wayne Hartwig - DiffsOnly.com. The Differential Experts. Auto Parts & Services.
Problem:
Locking hubs on the current market are weak and hard to turn. With most needing to use pliers to get them to lock/unlock.
Solution:
The Yukon Hardcore Locking Hub is a new to the market locking hub. It’s a very simple design. It’s very easy to turn and uses much stronger chrome-moly internals. These hubs will not disengage under high torque applications. They will not vibrate to the lock/free position while driving down the highway or your favorite trail. They are literally so easy to turn, you ask yourself if it actually locked/unlocked! And to top it off, they are shorter than other hubs, to keep them off the rocks.
I installed these free of grease, to display the hubs and procedure better. When you assemble them, make sure you use plenty of grease on the contact points/splines.
1-Received the Hardcore Locking Hubs from Yukon. Like everything else I’ve received from them, it was well packaged. Even though the hubs comes in their own packaging, Yukon will package that package inside of another box with material to keep everything safe and looking nice when it arrives.
2-Here’s the box:
3-Open it up and here’s what’s inside.
4-And the directions
5-All opened up, and spread out
6-Side comparison of the profile with a competitor’s manual locking hub.
