I'm replacing my shot auto hubs with manuals.
The instructions say to remove: capscrews, cap assembly, lock ring, body assembly, washer, and retaining ring.

I'm not sure what the "washer" and "retaining ring" are. Are they referring to the C washer and splined spacer?

The way I read it I'm supposed to take off everything outside of the locknut.

Also, It doesn't say anything about the bearing race, bearing, spring retainer, and bearing race spring. These are not needed with the new manual hubs, right?

Please advise,

jerome

how many bolts on your auto? if its the 5 bolt, then just take it down to the spindle (hub) nuts and replace it with the warns. if its the other ones, i have never done that swap so i am not sure what else is involved, but I would imagine it is pretty much the same

i haven't done auto hubs, but doing the manual hubs was a piece of cake. don't over complicate it. when i changed mine, i was like :wtf did i get myself into. i am gonna **** this up for sure. and then i did it and was like "thats it?"

auto hubs

I have just replaced my auto hubs with some Premium Superwinch hubs. You don't need a conversion kit if you need to know. There are two snap rings, one on the axle shaft and one behind the hub. They both need only pliars, you just squeeze the two ends of the internal snap ring and pull the hub at the same time. Make sure you put the screws back in the hub to use as handles to make it easier to pull off. Forget the washer mumbo jumbo, if you get the axle shaft snap ring off it will all fall out and you don't have to worry about what all the sh** is called. Good Luck!!!

Auto hubs are a sweet idea, but to bad they do have problems. I have little trouble with mine, and am glad to have them. Anybody want to sell the autos they swapped out? :shrug

If you have five cap screws on the auto then pull everything out that is not screwed on. Install the manuals as instructions show.

Three bolt you need a kit for it. Follow the diagrams in the fsb link
