Warn Hubs, fusible links? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

ryan68 · 03-28-2004, 02:25 PM

I recently locked my front axle(Dana 44) and of course am starting to break stuff, which is no big deal. But recently I broke a hub. I know I have the Warn hub with fusible links, but I have no idea what that is exactly except that the hub will break before something else does. If I take it apart, what should I look for, and how do I fix this? Do I just get a whole new hub, or can I get a new fusible link and fix it?

-Thanks

Take the crome cap off the outside and there should be a screw that holds the center of the hub from sliding out. take the screw out and whats left of the fuse should come out. Cleen all the broken peices out of the inside of the hub and put new fuse in and that should get you going.

Thanks, I kinda started to do that when I knew it broke, but I the little screw was kinda stripped, that has to be a bad sign too. I'll get it out, gotta see the carnage, HAHA.
