Nice write-up. Is it the same if I have 5 torx bits on my dust cover?

Nope. All you need is the new hubs. They're a direct swap.

Yup, like MM said. Just remove the old hubs and put in the new. there is no need for the three piece conversion kit which was the first three install steps in the write up.
Glad you all like it.

NP, I hope it helps out.
I know that a lot of people think that hub conversion is to simple to post a write up but hey if you have never done it before then it really helps to have something laid out like that.
I try my best when I do write ups hoping that someday it will be put to good use and maybe eventully it will ge me a vote :cheers:

Yip yip I know what you mean. I have replaced hubs and did the straight swap on my mom's bronco, that she doesn't have anymore!!! :evil: But like you said never hurts to have something to look at.

Sounds like someone replaced it at one time. Just do the swap to Warns and know that when you need to lock in the hubs, they'll work. :thumbup

yo,
Thanks, My, but the 96 has some diff parts and the bearing nut socket is diff, torques, etc. I have your site's LINK in my Bronco site (http://mywebpages.comcast.net/miesk5/) and thanks for that too!

I have a 94 with 5 torqsbits cover and the 4wheel parts store told me i needed a convertion kit.Are you guys saying you only need them when you have a 3 tourqsbit cover? Im cofused now they did,nt look at my truck mabe they assumed i had 3 tourq covers

MY,
yes, I am stuck on Broncos! Had more Links to Tech Articles, but so many have moved onto other vehicles & dropped their sites.

Green94; no conversion kit needed for 5 t screw covered hubs......3 t screws need the conversion kit.....seems Warn for example has changed their Tech Site info and has now confused everyone ... again...

here is one from http://www.4x4cyberstore.com/website/warn_hub_ford.html
"BRONCO & F150
CONVERSION KIT
FOR 3 SCREW AUTO HUBS"

http://www.louisville4x4.com/lockouts.htm
"WHEN REPLACING AUTOMATIC 3 HOLE CAP SCREW HUBS WITH MANUALS, YOU MUST PURCHASE SPINDLE NUT CONVERSION KIT."

Even the instructions say if you have 3 screwes you need a conversion kit. If you have 5, your in good shape, just remove old and install new.

hi...we have a 91' bronco with the 5 bolt auto hubs...and electronic shift transfer case.

You will probably need the spindle conversion kit. Warn P/N: 32720

No no no :twak

Direct install w/o the conversion kit.

Sorry dude.. I was under the impression that if you have auto hubs and not the 6 bolts that you would need the conversion kit due to the size of the original nut :shrug Your probably right, as the only experience I've had was with my 86.
