I have a LC that has disc brakes F/R with ASCO "Deep" hub locks F/R.
On the rear hub, the Hub Lock is mounted to the hub with (6) standard metric bolts (the cone washers are used with these bolts). The cone washers come right off with the bolts.
On the front hub, the Hub Lock is mounted with studs that remain in the hub and nuts secure the Hub Lock.
Now, having taken apart both, the front took 10x times as long to dissasemble as the rear..!!! Getting those little cone washer off the studs is a pain....
If the front has to be removed more frequently (broken birfields), why would I not convert the front hub to match the rear...??? Is there something else I'm missing..??
