Full Time 4wd hubs

[SUB602]

Can someone tell me what it takes to remove fulltime hubs from my 75 K-5? Thanks in advance.

To remove, you need to pop off the chrome dome cover, then remove a C clip that isn't very obvious that holds the slug in place, then that will come out with a spring behind it.

Usually I pry on them, they shouldn't need too much banging, that will destroy the chrome

I am swapping them out for selectable hubs. So i am not worried too much about damage. Although i will be re-installing them on my donor truck so i will be careful not to destroy them too much. Thanks

dont forget if you still have a 203 full time tcase with out conversion kit installed you will need to keep the hubs locked in or it wont drive.

Gotcha!! Actually there is no front driveshaft as of yet. The 203 is still out of the truck. The plan is to install a part time kit before i install the Transfer case. Right now i am actually just swapping parts from my donor Blazer. Thanks for the info though

I was swapping sthe hub today and didnt realize how small the lug studs were on these trucks. Do they hold up when 4 wheeling or is there an upgrade i should make?

I wouldn't worry about the wheel studs, you'll break your axle shafts long before those give out.

Seriously? So this would be a good way to tell if you have the 2WD conversion done?

Sweet then I guess my 75 already has it done! I have been driving it around with out the hubs locked for a while. So, it would not move at all with the hubs unlocked? Unless it was in high or low lock though?
