Aisin Hubs suck (1 Viewer)

[Land Speeder]

I know they really don't suck... but they suck. I'm pretty sure they work by magic.
Finally got Fools Gold hubs cleaned up, one required sand blasting the rust/gunk off the gears. It's still messed up though. Now requires a wrench to turn it to operate. But it seems to work!
Any event... yeah, magic. Even someone who KNOWS how to fully take these apart was having issues "assembling" them in place on the hub to make it work... quite comical after a long day of unassembly, cleaning, and then reasembly.

Are they very much different than warns?
I have rebuilt several of those last one being 10+ years ago.

Aisins are better. At least, they seem to break less frequently in the trail...

Hi, Mine seem to take what ever I throw at them . I've only replaced two with all the cruisers we own. Mike

I meant are they designed much differently. Meaning I could probably help rebuild one if it had a similar design to the warn.

Ever thrown mud at them? And left it in there?

Longfield makes gears for them. In fact, you have to have been running the gears for the full replacement warranty to be effective. So when I but my 80longs, I suppose I'm buying hub gears as well.

Not sure clang, I just wish I was running flanges. They so much easier.

Are they still selling those now that Trail-gear bought them?

Never mind, looks like they are still there.

The description says they are now polyurethane instead of UHMW because the UHMW had to be cut and would allow water into the knuckle.

The knuckles on both sides were fine.
The hubs had the rust.
