This applies to all ford broncos, f150, f250’s from years 1980-1996. This is to convert your automatic 3 screw locking hubs to manual locking. You don’t need many tools just about an hours work to do both.
Parts list Used:
Manual hubs: amzn.to/2AndVfe
Spindle Nut Socket: amzn.to/3gYbbbK
Picks: amzn.to/2B7BMjv
Torque wrench: amzn.to/3gzHGdG
Best how to on youtube, all the other videos on doing this are trash.
this video helped me alot knocked out both sides in 45 mins!
That’s awesome glad it helped you out bro!
I liked the humor sprinkled in. My dad had a couple broncos, one was an oj bronco. I used this video because the auto locking hub on my 96 f159 failed and I just have to see how it comes out, I think I'm just going to get a replacement from a junkyard, the truck is mainly a garage queen so I guess I'd rather keep it original. But if the junkyard ones are trashed maybe I'll do the manual conversion.
Yeah sounds like a good plan. Thanks for watching hope it helped.
Good video you made it so people who are not familiar with this system can do the work yourself. Any special tool needed is that socket and you can rent that from any parts store.
I'm fortunate that I have all of the special tools needed to work on Fords.
Those Auto hubs suck. I've had two separate Ford with them on them and changed both of them over to manual.
Really like this video. I made sure to hit the big old like button and I'm already subscribed to your videos. Looking forward to more .
This is going to help me out a lot ! Thanks for the good information
No problem!
See your adorning your signature OJ gloves.
Heck yeah young brother. I just got myself a 1990 Ford Bronco OJ white, 😂. I'v been thinking about changing my auto to manual hubs. Very good video even a dumbass like myself can do it.
Great video! Thanks for sharing this!
Spot on, helped a lot. video well done. Thank you very much !!
Great Video! I am guessing it is really that simple! Super dumb question but the only difference to these is that you physically have to get out of the vehicle once you put the vehicle in 4x4.
How long did you think this conversion took you?
Excellent video. Thank you
Appreciate it!
Where is the conversion kit? Only thing listed is fir the hubs
Awesome video - really love the details!
Very possible I missed it, but I don't see the socket size listed anywhere. Mind posting it again please? Thank you
Sorry bout that. Here’s the link. Thanks for watching. amzn.to/3gYbbbK

Thank you for the quick response. Any chance you have the PN for the first socket you showed? (Smooth all around for use with the auto hub?) That 4 teeth version doesn't work on mine 😪
@@java9309 im needing to know the same thing
Great job
Thanks 🙏🏻
this is the second video i've watched. I'm doing the same thing on my f150 96...with the dana 44ifs, I believe. I had to replace spindles too. For some reason, my hubs are getting way too hot after 15 or so miles. can't figure out what I've done wrong. my torrque settings are the same at 50llbs, backed off 90, and then 150lbs for outtter. It may be that my truck has a very specific spindle for the 94,95,96 fords... and the seal or dust cover is rubbing against the wheel bearing seel casuing friction. It's driving me crazy... I don't know what i did wrong! ill pay you for a video phone call diagnosis
Do I need the conversation kit if I have the 5 screw hub verses the 3 screw?
I have a 95 ford bronco alt 5.8 liter and I wanna convert my automatic hubs to manual hubs so after the conversion I will not have to push the 4x4 button on my dash I just simply go outside my truck and turn the dial to 4x4 on my hubs
ON A 82 CHEVY 4×4 with authentic lock outs do I have to pull the HUB off to put manual lock outs on
So if you have the push button auto hubs as I do pn my 92 xlt , when you replace them to manual , do you have to press any of the buttons on the dash to engage the transfer case?
Thank you so much, brother!
No problem 🍻
Great helpful video !!
Thanks!
Great video helped alot
No problem thanks for watching!
Great video man very helpful 👍
Thanks man glad it was helpful!
I can’t get the ring hold an aluminum cap off. Can you help me?
I want to do this to my '95 F150 with auto hubs. If I get hubs from a donor Ford truck, what other stuff do I need to buy?
Awesome video
Thanks!
perfect video!! thank you brotha!!🤙🙏
👊🏼 hope it works for you!
It’s really a pain if you don’t get the 90 degree back off just right because once you tighten the outer locknut and you have the inner lock it to tight your wheel will be to stiff
Cool you got the OJ Bronco how cool is that ?
Where can I find this kit for 2009 f150
what kind and what size socket is needed for the lock it? i tried using a pick like you did and even a screwdriver and it wouldn’t come off. thanks!
that is not the correct socket for that nut. that is the correct socket for the conversion nuts. what is the correct socket for that auto hub nut?
very well done how to
Thanks!
@@JJBanuelos will you be doing any other how to's ? on this truck? like headers or p/s pumps and what not?
ty sir
👊🏼
thanks
Of course
Great video! My question is, What makes the others fail! seems as if they are almost the same except for the lock in lock out?
Ford uses vaccum activated hubs. the seals on the hubs wear down and so do the vacuum lines. Once they leak it can't build enough pressure to lock the hub. Replacing the OEM vacuum hubs is more expensive than replacing with manual by almost 4 times what he paid. So the manual conversion is cheaper. Common replacement is warn brand hubs I believe they have a lifetime warranty.
@@Drew-cz7hw only a idiot would replace auto hubs with manual! I have manual on my 93 f1 and I want autos!
@@Drew-cz7hw FYI, they are not vacuum actuated. They are torque sensing, and use a ratchet mechanism. Unfortunately due to lack of use, or simply wearing out, the ratchets fail.
Do you need to push the 4c4 button first & then lock Hubs to go into 4 wheel drive ? Just bought a truck with this conversion done trying to figure out how to get in & out again without taring anything up
To be safe I’d push the button & then go lock the hubs.
manual hubs means manual,,which means,,you..
so what im curious about is proper use of the 4wd system. mine is a 94 f150 5.0 with manual hubs and the two 4wd buttons on the dash (4x4 and low). if i put it in 4wd and or LOW do i have to lock in the hubs or is it drive-able without locking the hubs? i dont want to break anything but even if it wont hurt anything will the 4wd system act like its still in 2wd if i dont lock the hubs? what if i only lock one hub, what happens then?
you CAN shift into 4x4 low and not lock the hubs, essentially giving yourself 2wd low. Some people use this for the extra torque, but i do not recommend it. It's just as easy to simply lock the hubs in, and use the push buttons on the dash for 4x4 or 4low. Locking one hub and leaving the other to free spin can damage the front driveline. Locking one will effectively still be 2wd, as power in an open diff (stock front is open) will send all the power to the unlocked, freespinning hub, negating the point of engagint he transfer case anyways.
@@williambeck2997 yeah back when I wrote my comment I tried various ways in the snow on my steep driveway and found out pretty much everything you're saying is what happens. Those front hubs are crucial to having any kind of 4x4 traction. Without them I was pretty much still in 2wd regardless of the transfer case. I really miss the simplicity of an AWD SUV. Add in a push button center locking diff and I'm on 4x4 easy Street.
Amigo cuanto te costaron y en que partes de tu país lo compraste
Will these parts fit on my 95 f150
Excellent how to. What did you do with old hubs?
Scraped my old ones had no use for them.
b i n
Why wouod you switch from auto to man?
The auto hubs are not reliable, manual hubs will always engage
You speak a lot. Like many people in other videos,, can do in 8 minutes..
Thanks I guess...? Thanks for watching!
Boy. Be quite. Men are talking here.
