1992 LJ78 front hub diagram

[Holdfast]

First timer - need to adjust front bearings and do an alignment but not sure how the auto locking hub gear comes apart. Does anyone have diagram? Not sure if I need to unplug and pull through and what is underneath the small gear.

I know about switching to manual hubs, but not there yet. Its a 92. Thanks.

Here is also a thread that talks a little bit about the steps involved in it. The pictures from Oldblue are exactly what you should need, though.

Disregard the info, top right on the last pix, this only applies when my conversion is fitted

Other helpful hint; re; The 3 Tork screws on the Slip Ring, If they are tight, tap them with a flat ended punch a couple of times, this helps release any nip or tightness .

Thanks very much. Will tackle this tomorrow and see how it goes.

Ok- so bearings snugged up and alignment adjusted. It seems I am missing a spring on the right side. Did the right first, but when went to the left the cover didn't pop off like the right because a spring was holding it to the inside gear piece. Anyways, leave it for now- look at manual hub kits come fall. Thanks again for info.
