spicer locking hubs
hey guys i found a set of 3/4 ton spicer blue knob hubs in a jy.
the yard is a good bit aways so i would only like too make one more trip there as there really isnt anything else there worth while. i have zero expeirance with 4x4 hubs. with that said.. i would like to know what tools i'll need to get everything that i'm gonna need for them off. i cant carry my whole garage with me in the yard so any help here would be nice. i know i'll need a set of allen wrenches and a socket set for the 6 bolts. haveing never taken these off before is there anything else? do they just pop off after the 6 bolts are out? do i "need" too take the allen bolts out to get them off or just the six bolts? i have drive slugs on my truck and i'm not sure witch i'll be useing. from what i have been seeing i'm not gonna leave these lockouts in the yard for someone else to get ![]()

Re: spicer locking hubs
You'll also need a pair of snap ring pliers so you can remove the snap ring from the stub shaft in order to remove the axle shaft gear.
Are you sure there 3/4 hubs? I'm kind of confused about your question about the bolts. 3/4 ton Blue dial spicers should only have the six big Allen bolts recessed in the chrome cover. Although it's from another site and geared tward the 73-77 mustard hubs this article may help some: http://forum.73-87chevytrucks.com/sm...?topic=22710.0

Re: spicer locking hubs
awe man
in the link the third pic down the one on the right side is what i found except the knob is differnt than that one. its definitly blue and looks like all the other knobs. i never really saw the name"spicer" on them but i figured thats what they were after a long search here lookin at pics of lockouts. i rarely carry my phone in jys and this time i should've to snap a pic of them. just to be sure. is there any other blue knobed lockouts? these are on a 71 k20 so i just went from there and assummed

Re: spicer locking hubs
The allens hold the chrome outer section. A snap ring on the axle and then the bolts remove the rest of it.

Re: spicer locking hubs

Re: spicer locking hubs
do you remember if just the plastic emblem had been tore off as a lot of the spicers had plier marks and they were rough looking , or could it of been a aftermarket type like second picture , still uses allen bolts but in 2 sizes kind of like a warn

the plastic knobs looked like the top pic but the bridge the part you grasp with your fingers connected on each side like your second pic they were plastic and very faded blue nowhere did they say spicer but i figured it was wore off. after looking online spicers were the closest resembleance. they were in decent shape turned easy with no plyer marks. if ya read my above reply and followed the pic too that link they had tose type of bases could i have been looking at someones mixture of parts?

Re: spicer locking hubs
Take a flat blade screwdriver and a pair of channel locks also including the other tools on the above post sometimes the inner gear has some suction or sludge and you have to either help pry it out or wiggle it with the channel locks

Re: spicer locking hubs
so by reading this all i'm guessing what i found are replacement hubs and not oe ones.
i never gave a thought to look at the spid in the truck to see if it came with locking hubs on the link above the bases looked like the ones on the right in the third pic down. and in classics post they are identical to the lower lefts, knob and chrome ring are these even spicers? cant see a name on his box. the jy wants $25 for both of them are they worth grabbing. they looked nice and turned freely. the general idea is to have the option to install these in place of my slugs but if they are not worth it i'll save my dough. i'm going back to get the front leaf springs since one of mine are broke and they are the only 3 leafers i can find locally i'm having them burned off since 9 times outa 10 the sleeves are siezed in the spring eye and shackles. i just might have to grab the tow hooks off the front too ![]()

Re: spicer locking hubs
If it's got factory hooks on the front that's the first thing I'd grab! The lower left picture classic posted are factory 1/2 ton hubs.

Re: spicer locking hubs
well i agree with with the hog pen.
being there sat afternoon at 2 and they closed at 3 and not open sunday seeing the muck that dang near snatched my rocky boot right off my foot ruined my socks(who care about socks when you spot hooks) he suggested we do this 930 mon morn when nobody is there. he gotta pick the truck up with the loader(if it dont get stuck) to burn off the springs kinda know(fingers crossed) they would still be there. this guy runs the yard alone and i dont believe he knows about HOOKS besides all i had was a 1/4" drive. thanks guys as this thread progressed you'all can see i have know idea what i was looking at i'll retreive my finding tommarrow and report back ![]()

Re: spicer locking hubs
i'm just gonna grab them no matter what. after all i been beatin the 7 local yards around here for months since i got this 71 and havent seen any lockouts at all.
except a set i saw on my first outing back in oct when i started scrounging for this truck but i noticed they were 1/2 tons when i went back to get them. thats when i decided to pass on them cause that yards prices are salty. they were warns but not what i needed and they are gone now. I really only went there cause i was in the area and figured i would stop to have a quick look see since it was still open...glad i did thanks for the info guys i wouldve never thought of snap ring pliers. i'll report back after i collect my bounty

Re: spicer locking hubs
They were probably Superwinch hubs. They have blue dials. The aftermarket K/20 hubs are internal. The dial ring is about the same diameter as 1/2t, closer to 2", with a larger mounting flange closer to 3". The factory K/20 dial rings are full diameter with recessed allen head bolts. Any lockout hub for these trucks is worth getting. The whole axle is. I collect the aftermarket hubs and I know others do. I also like to use them. They are better parts than factory and everyone wants the factory stuff to be original, so they are overpriced. I'll worry about original when my truck is museum quality.
