    M1008 4X4 doesn't actuate after locking/shifting

    easy way to tell, with hubs locked in and t-case in 2wd, jack one wheel up and spin by hand, front drive shaft should spin, now put in 4wd, now try to spin by hand should not spin. also you do not need to put grease in the lockouts. good luck

    Locking Hubs M1009

    if all your doing is lockout then you wont need those. if your pulling the rotors ,you can replace the oe spindle nut with the kit you showed, but you dont need to. i replaced mine but only because i have the socket with the four tabs.

    stuck wheel bearing

    the rotor hub is one piece, to remove the rotor from the hub the wheel studs will need to be knocked out once you get it off the truck. the backing plate is held on by the spindle, if my memories serve me right. to remove after you get hub off remove 6 or 8, cant remember, bolts. pull spindle...

    Front axle problem

    if that race wont slide off your spindle is gonna be bad, but you had the right idea on cutting a groove into race and using a chisel. just dont cut to deep.

    Front axle problem

    get a vice grip and clamp it on the bolt that runs thru the caliper and spin it out, not to hard if you have to put some heat on it.

    Front axle problem

    If there is no obvious sign of broken parts, before you remove your tires grab the top and bottom and see if ther is any play, then spin the tire listening for any noise,. a bad bearing will have play or sound rough. then lock hub in,turn tire all the way to one side and spin tire again, if the...
