i have a ford F250 1992 four wheel drive with the big Auto hub one of them broke so i wanted to replace it but it seems to me nobody makes them no more so i was wondering how hard would it be to switch. to manual i know i have to buy a conversion kit and the manual hub.But other then that can a person with not alot of experience do it. And is there alot to do how much time would it take just an estimate.

 

I went through this with my ranger it had auto lock hub's but when Ford wanted $300 each. I converted to manual locking hub's.I t is not that hard to do but for a beginer i would not recomend it.

 

I have a 1994 Ford F250 that came with automatic hubs. Converting them from auto to manual is not that hard. I have had mine out several times for brake work, u-joint replacement etc. One thing I want you to be aware of is you need to know what size front axle and hubs you have. When I bought my Warn manual hubs 6 plus years ago they were around $300.00. My truck has the heavy duty front axle and hubs. The lighter duty I think will run you around half of the heavy duty. Go get yourself a truck manual that shows diagrams on taking apart both the autos and manual hubs, Hanes is one publication. I have 291,000 miles on my truck and I work it everyday. They are very good trucks. I would set aside a day when there is a mechanic open just in case you have any questions.
