Ford F-150/Bronco 5 Bolt Automatic locking hub Disassembly and repair

[@rueridge7597]

This is probably the very best how to video I have seen anywhere especially KZbin. Outstanding job

[@timhowell1220]

Very nice video and without any distracting music. Make sure you stress how important it is to get the inside and outside of the hub clean. It is a greasy job, so have lots of paper towels or clean rags handy. This was a great video about the Automatic 4wd hub. Thanks again for a nice instructive Video.

[@theeenforcer8857]

Chevy Man here.. Not going to lie, I talk mad crap about Fords but I have to say after scouring KZbin for a video on how to disassemble these I found nothing For my 85 K5 Blazer on the subject so this is the one and only time I’ll say to a ford guy great job man and thank you for making this video, it helped me out immensely lol.

[@SteveDilger-yz7nd]

Wow dude. You have clearly taken these hubs apart many times. Thanks so much for putting this out there.

[@murphytoadster9864]

These are so much more convenient than manual hubs im so glad i kept mine. I just didnt know how to service them. I just have them in a box i assumed something was broken on them.

[@johnRfarrer]

Thank You! I was afraid to attempt this on my F-150 till I watched this.

[@samsullivan3992]

It's good to see someone show step by step how these come apart and put back together. I've always just replaced the hub, this is a cheaper option if it just needs lubed up to work again.

[@scottharrison6836]

Awesome video, no way in the world I could do this without your help, thanks.

[@SmithFarmandOutdoors]

I have a 1994 4x4 F150 I bought used. The cap was loose and no matter how tight I made the bolts, it would not stop wobbling for some reason. It was also leaking grease out onto the wheel when I'm driving. I watched your video, completely disassembled the passenger side and put it back together. There is no wobble now, the cap tightens up correctly. I'm not sure what was wrong with it originally but I think a ring or spacer or something was put in incorrectly by someone in the past. Thanks. The automatic 4 wheel drive works fine on this vehicle so no need to convert to Manual Locking Lugs.

[@mikerowland1701]

Great instructional video.....but it sounds like someone is going poop in the background.

[@tabletmls9451]

lol

[@eb0800]

Awesome video! Thanks for the instruction. Would never have known how to take mine apart without being adventuresome. Since no one makes these anymore it is really cool that I can service them every time I service the wheel bearings. Thanks again!

[@josephperry4344]

Excellent video, you know these hubs well, I am a fan of keeping them original as much as possible. Thank you for a clear explanation.

[@jcksnghst]

You are the greatest human being ever. Thank you so much for this!!!

[@Dadayoutubes]

Thanks for video. I followed along while I did mine. 1983 Dodge w150 4x4 with 10 bolt dana 44

[@powerobsession734]

man you sure deserve more likes. I have literally spent weeks looking for competent videos on our style 4x4 assembly and everything came up either incomplete, incompetent, or had nothing to do with the bearing assembly, simply how to remove the lock nuts using the spanner tool. fucking geniuses... really appreciate the time you took to make this comprehensive video. Cheers.

[@mfamos]

FANTASTIC tutorial. so happy to have found it, saving me tons of time!! thank you!

[@richu4512]

all good following your instructions. Thank you for the video. My hubs had an additional spacer between the drive sleeve and the stator ring c clip. Thanks again.

[@rtgomez90]

Can you elaborate on this? I ended up with an extra ring after putting mine back together...

[@rtgomez90]

What is the drive sleeve/stator ring c clip?

[@richu4512]

@@rtgomez90 see my post below for the exploded view drawing. It's been a while since I did this so I can't remember. That exploded view will give you the reference for the stator ring. That's probably the spacer ring I was referring to. www.supermotors.net/registry/media/1053962

[@binder1959]

Outstanding instructional video! Very informative...great video quality

[@retrobot85]

Thank you! I guess I don’t need to swap in manual hubs!

[@ratrod426]

Good video I believe this is the only one on the auto lock hub service

[@jcksnghst]

My 92 f250 pulls good in 4x4 until a load is put on it and then it pops so loud you'd think the front end had fell off. Is that the factory original auto hubs?? It couldn't be the universal to front axles that loud I hope.

[@MrOldnslofly]

Nice video. Learned lots. Thanks for taking the time to shoot and post.

[@AlejandroMartinez-wg8fn]

Thanks a LOT Sr. It is very helpful!

[@brutalblues]

Disassembled and reassembled, just regreasing? I guess that one little ball bearing ring could get replaced. Does that plastic part ever disintegrate? Getting ready to do mine. Thanks for the awesome video.

[@MikeB-sc9ki]

Wow, thank you so much Mister!

[@NIBtechsupport]

Beautiful, is this the same concept for a 1992 ranger with auto hubs?

[@kenniw3567]

Yes it is. As long as it is the automatic locking hub. I've got an 86 ford bronco 2 and it has the manual locking hubs on it, then my 94 ford f150 has the automatic ones.

[@savage6394]

Good instructions. Thanks FYI you should remind your camera operator you can hear them breathing/snoring the whole time. It distracts from your instructing.

[@stevepointer8796]

What is that spring for that stretches all the way around the main body of the assembly? I broke mine.

[@Teleman01]

Anyone know where you could pick up these hub covers with the 4 x 4 sticker on them? I have a 1993 Ford F150 super cab auto locking hubs. It looks like the same ones he has at the top of this video.

[@MrJdy18]

Dude I’m here for the exact same reason. I also have the exact same truck as you. Year and everything. My stickers are both faded and would be great to find new ones. Let me know if you find anything!

[@Teleman01]

@@MrJdy18 Will do

[@573customs6]

Very good job on the video.very informational

[@jeffedmondson7861]

I went through both of my 1994 F-150 as you instructed and both seem to be in good working condition. However when I shift it to 4wd the light indicates 4wd but the truck is still not going into 4wd. I am thinking it could be the transfer case motor. Your thoughts?

[@technicalitems731]

What did you find out? Thanks

[@noneyaas2669]

So ive been looking for rotor and hub kits for a 1992 f150 4x4 with automatic hubs the exact same ones from this video do bronco and f150 trucks of the 92 era have the same hub and rotors or?

[@th3_r3d_qu33n]

love the video....and the batman watch

[@rtgomez90]

Thanks for the detailed video!

[@terrydevins5539]

Spring? Behind the locker?

[@markcannon6200]

excellent video..thanks

[@stevepointer8796]

Great video!

[@TheRecht1419]

hi guys, first, thanks for the video, and I just want to know where to buy the "cap" where it is the "4x4" logo, with the spring, I need one of thouse due to mine is broken, everything else works as has to but that "cap" of mine with the spring is useless, thanks for reading

[@jaym9879]

Thanks for the video

[@pontala]

great video brother thanks

[@JulioAnibalGomesdePaivaPereira]

look for the plastic piece or the diagram to be able to make the piece.Tks

[@angleturner]

Fantastic ... Thank you !!

[@xicosanchez1179]

Muy bien .👍

[@WEBBBASSIST9]

I know this video is 3 years old but after removing the locking assembly would you be able to remove the caliper and then remove the hub and rotor or is there more work to it?

[@hearsedriver302]

Travis Compton a large but would meet to be removed off the spindle with a special socket. Then after removing the caliper and caliper bracket you would be able to remove the rotor.

[@jasonburnett1127]

Where can you find the seal between the hub and hubcap for sale

[@b-king5633]

Is it possible to repair the 3 Bolt hub too? I don´t find replacement here in Germany.

[@gusdevries6037]

excellent

[@craigtind286]

What year model is this from? I've got a 92 Bronco with factory 5 bolt auto hubs and they are nothing like that. No clip and no tabs on snap ring. Internals also different.

[@jamalworthy2216]

Craig T's same I just look at mine today I got 1991 Bronco

[@mikespain8655]

The heavy breathing by camyguy is both creepy and distracting. Good video though.

[@morphsanmore2324]

Is there a rebuild kit for these I don't want to convert my bronco to manual hubs and they work just want to freshen them up b4 they do go

[@hearsedriver302]

morphs an more u might find a NOS one on eBay. for a small fortune... just follow the steps in this vid and u should b good 2 go.

[@BradRobocop]

I have the same automatic locking hub. The plastic part is broken on mine. What is that part called? I can't find it anywhere

[@hearsedriver302]

I belive it is called the cam. Not entirely sure. but i doubt you'll find it for sale alone... Probably gonna have to get a new hub.

[@KarstRats]

Where can you find a new hub and rotor for these at.

[@SwiftGearheart24]

I need new caps entirely and all I find are the more common 3-bolt and manual hubs. I've searched everywhere shy of the dark web for replacements. Any clue where I can find any so I can stop pulling my hair out?

[@hearsedriver302]

TheBandicootBrony they sometimes pop up on Ebay. But usually for a small fortune.... I would check the junkyards.

[@SwiftGearheart24]

It's worth a shot. Thank you. :)

[@bigredmurker2346]

Great video

[@KarstRats]

Where did you get the hub.

[@Andy47357]

do you know where i can get the spring for the cap?

I'm looking for parts too

+Lexie Leming Hi, I have the 5 bolt hub. Please could you help me? thanks.

[@MrJeep75]

Nice, buy some manual hub's

[@dodgeramsport01]

MrJeep75 Why thats just dumb!

[@isaachousley325]

Honestly, on these trucks, unless you are doing heavy offroading, the auto hubs are more convenient if you keep them working. That way, if you are driving and you get into a patch with low traction, you can just hit the switch/pull the lever and engage 4wd (since the t-case is SOTF).

[@halleffect1]

should be a T25

[@richu4512]

Looking to do mine, but I'm afraid to do it without having replacement seals to put it back together with. Here's an exploded view on Supermotors www.supermotors.net/registry/media/895156 of all of the hub parts. Looks like the kit goes for around $50 but not sure if it's the right one. F6TZ-1K106-AA

[@rtgomez90]

Thanks for the diagram I realized the extra spacer I mentioned goes inside the cup w/ the brake band underneath the first c clip. I didnt see it in this video but mine were both stuck inside the cup. Hope your Ford is running good.

[@Toolaholic7]

It is called throw these piece of shit auto locking hubs in the scrap pile.They exploded apart in heavy four wheel drive applications

[@eb0800]

Autos are great for original trucks though. Some people like to keep their classic trucks original. I think it's great that he's showing us how to fix ours since they aren't made anymore. Just my two cents.

[@Toolaholic7]

They were junk from the factory and I have thrown a few in the scrap metal pile.
