| The locker is squeeling the tires ALL the time now like the locker is not disengaging. I replaced the hub last night and this morning trying to turn out of the driveway I discovered this issue. Any thoughts on the cause. My guess is something got screwed up when the hub blew? The shaft never came out. It is not poping or missing just always locked. | |

| You need to rebuild the locker. one of the springs are either worn out or broken and the plates aren't moving so its like having a spool. | |

| All 4 pins were broken ???? This case is eating lockers at an alarming pace!!!
I think I am just going to put the spiders back in . Do they just "float on the pin? Never done it before. | |

| you know how to break a locker. I think the ping goes through the one set of spiders. Never look at it that close never plane on putting them back in. Find a new axle 8.8 with a ABR . | |

| Yeah I sure do. This time I did not even wheel it yet!!! Spiders are back in and tested, seems to be ok. I ordered the new pin kit so i may give the locker one more try..... but yeah I am looking for axles, and the cash to pay for them. | |

| Yeah well Chris not to bash on your locker but those basic lock rites are trash. I have seen people have good luck with them and bad luck with them and most of the time the good luck is just dumb luck that its works. I have seen guys measure and test and check and take there time to do it all right and then it doesn't work. But yeah personally I would trash it stop fighting with it. Enjoy wheeling and driving it open. Start and piggy bank for a 8.8 or a Dana44 out of a TJ, or talk to Bill. | |
