Hub bodies are disassembled, cleaned and ready for reassembly in the AM. Hit the housings with some paste wax for good measure. I'll start on the lockout/clutch gear, pawl and spring later...

These ASCO "long axle" hubs are getting hard to source...If you find a set grab them and I'll disassemble and clean them up for you...TLC Karma comes back knocking on your door... Least I can do for your "Festivus gift"...

Ran em' for years and years and a couple more years on my Jeeps (<will that get me thrown of the thread?) Good solid hub, no complaints or catastrophic failures for that matter. But, I never really tortured them.
Are you running "long axles"? These odd ball years are the tuff nut to crack. I found plenty of early and later years.

Gaskets are ready for reassembly. I may have the opportunity to mount the hubs this weekend. Waiting on one clutch/lockout gear and pawl spring to finish everything up. In the meantime, I'll head "up-town" to NAPA for some self etching primer. Not sure what I'm going to do just yet regarding a paint scheme. I believe the ASCO hubs were grey from the factory...I'm running blue heater hose, so I don't believe I'll be a slave to color...

That is a fact but, I'm kinda partial to the Wear'n O the Grey.."We feel despite the sneers of those who never smelt the fray, that we've a manly honest right to the wearing of the grey"..
LoL, couldn't resist...
Yes running long hubs. Hindsight is 20/20 should have sourced a 60 axle for brake donor. A quick search for the long Aisin looks like $400ish for a pair.

Finished cleaning the hubs today. Used some self etching primer and epoxy paint on the hub cover and dial.

Hub bodies are back together..Had an issue with the O-ring on the selector. I'll post up more on that particular enigma later...
