I recently acquired a 97 Ranger with manual front hubs on it. I took them apart today and the internals are slightly different to what I have seen in pictures and video's on the internet.
The thrust bearing on these hubs in a nylon washer (as opposed to the needle roller bearing I was expecting)
Also the wheel bearing itself is retained by a jam nut and keyed washer butting up against the retaining nut (as opposed to the single nut and the little metal key thingy inside the keyway).
Do I have some weird off brand hubs here? (I havent found a manufacturers name on anything). Or is this just a less commonly found locking hub assembly?
Thanks for any input.
