Some people feel they need to pack the hub with grease. This can actually cause them to not operate properly. Take a can of brake cleaner and clean all the grease off the spindle and axle sub shaft splines.
Fill the hubs with brake cleaner a couple times, working the spring mechanism up and down, and empty it. Try to get all the grease out. Letting hot ATF transmission fluid fluid set in them for a half hour and then dumping it out will also help. Just lubricate them with a little automatic transmission fluid ATF. If your automatic hubs are shot and you want a reliable hub off-road, you should perform a manual hub swap.

On the inside of the hub is a spring and splined collar. If this happens, you will need a new wheel bearing assembly, along with a new snap ring and a knuckle seal.
All are available through Ford. Then, preferably with air tools, chisel out the hublock internals from the wheel bearing assembly. Replace the wheel bearing assembly, knuckle seal, and snap ring as outlined in other guides in the Tech Library of TRS.
Continue to Step 3. Step 3: With the hublock removed, spray brake cleaner in the wheel bearing hub assembly where the axleshaft passes through. Make sure to get out all major dirt and grime to ensure a cleaner reassembly. Remember, cleanliness is key with this 4WD system. Step 4: Remove the old o-ring and install the new one supplied with your AVM hubs.
Step 5: Look at our nice new hublock. Check to make sure the locking mechanism functions properly. Step 6 Optional : This step is completely optional. I lightly covered the hub internals with Motor Oil to prevent corrosion and ensure proper hub to axle engagement. Step 7: With the hublock prepped and the new o-ring installed, we are ready to install the new AVMs. If the hublock does not slide onto the wheel bearing assembly, turn the axleshaft by hand until you feel the splines line up and the hublock will slide into place.
Make sure the hublock is fully seated and the retaining tabs are secured in place. Search our online locking hub catalog and find the lowest priced discount auto parts on the web.
