old style locking hubs

[special-K]

Can you imagine how those 'screws' would get pack with mud? And the slots aren't that deep. You would definitely want to keep a little wire brush tethered to that tool. And that tool? Better know where that is before deciding to hit the slop

I have one set of hubs that are, what I think, early automatic hubs. They are Dualmatic or Selectro. No knob, just a shiny stainless cover. It appears to be just press-fit on. I'll have to dig those out for pictures. I have never attempted to disassemble one

I never saw an automatic hub. Except the explode o magic used by GM in the eighties.

Our 1991 Suburban (square body) had mechanical automatic hubs when we got it. They didn't work once up in the mountains so as soon as we got home I had them swapped out for a set of manual Warn hubs. Actually, I still have those factory hubs sitting out in the garage because I intended to keep the Warn hubs if I ever sold it, but when the time came I just said the hell with it. I'm not planning to ever get another half ton 4x4 anyway.
