Exploded view of front hubs

Does anybody have this?

I can make it, Check the kope manual

basically the metal cage holds the pins to the brass piece inside of the hub, then the brass bit goes in the center of the hub. the brass piece forces the pins outward

if you need front hubs I have a hole bunch as I changed every truck except my shelf queen over to all rears

I need to rebuild a few. if you need help, I could take pics of the build.
a tip for you:

use the hub shaft and insert it into the hub center backwards.
this will give you something to hold onto while you build the assembly.

Got it figured out, thanks guys!

Electrohacher,

I was reading all the post trying to find some info on this but can't seem to find any.

What's the benefit of putting rear hubs up front? I understand you would get rid of the one way thingy in the front hubs, does the oval hole on the right hub and the round whole on the left effect anything? Send me to a link if you know of any.

Thanks.

the problems I have with the front hubs are

1 they dont provides 4WD in reverse
2 they often dont engage or slip out of engagement

the only problem I have with rear hubs in the front is it greatly reduces your turning radius (the front hubs act as a diff)

Bret, the round hole versus the oval only tells you if the hub is a left or rite.
the only advantage to using the rear hubs up front is the fact that you gain 4wd in reverse. there is a critical disadvantage to using rear hubs up front and that is a high risk of breaking the hub shafts when making sharp turn on solid pavement.

Thanks for the info guys. Merry Christmas!
