The only special tool you need it the GM Hub socket,,,, Nope,, $80's not to bad for Warn Premiums

A dental pick for the big snap ring and lots of patience trying to get it out, other than that, its pretty simple. Just read your directions

Just curious ... Why would you switch from auto to manual? Are they stronger?

Where can u get a hub socket? Yes, the manual ones are stronger.

What special hub socket is needed? I'm going to switch from auto to man. hubs on the 83 I bought. I've never personally known about a hub socket for removing the hub. Oh btw has any one used milemarker hubs? They are priced a little better ($50.00-$60.00)and have a lifetime warranty like the warn premiums.-Russell

Its about a 2 inch socket with four prongs that match up to the spindle nuts. It's been a few years since I swapped mine out but it was pretty simple. The hardest part was getting the snap ring out.(it fits inside the wheel hub and keeps the locking part of the assembly in place)

Don't need a spindle nut socket to change hubs. Will need a torx socket not sure what number. Stock is torx head replacment man. hubs use allen heads. Will also need snap ring pliers. And yes a dental pic or any pointed tool will work to remove outer snap ring. I just ground down an old screwdriver.

I didn't need the hub socket to take out the actual hub mechanism out itself, you need the socket to take off the outer bearing and the rotor.
