1986 Ford Bronco - Here's what you get. Last year the dealer hosed me $26 just for 12 new alan screws and these come free ! 1986 Ford Bronco - What special tools are needed ? Just a philips, 9/64" alan wrench, a pick tool and some spreading circlip pliers, that's it ! 1986 Ford Bronco - There's the ugly truth in all it's salt encrusted glory. The dealer wanted $65 CDN just for the red plastic twist ! Not when I can get the… 1986 Ford Bronco - Begin by pulling the alan bolts out and pray you put plenty of Anti-seize on their threads last time. 1986 Ford Bronco - Next out comes the philips screw. 1986 Ford Bronco - Now remove the spring and sprag. 1986 Ford Bronco - Now you should have plenty of room to access the circlip in the center with the circlip pliers. 1986 Ford Bronco - Man this pick tool is so useful. I used to play around with small screwdrivers for minutes trying to hook and remove the outer housing reta… 1986 Ford Bronco - Using the two screw trick, so many people here told me to use, just pull the rest out and you're free and clear of all the stock hub pieces… 1986 Ford Bronco - Right from MileMarker to you ! Being a cabin dwelling Canadian I don't use grease in the outer hub areas anyway (it freezes). I use....... 1986 Ford Bronco - Anti-seize compound and plenty of it.

I even slapped more Anti-Seize in the 9/10ths twist threads of the MileMarker hub outer as well ! 1986 Ford Bronco - The MileMarkers pushed in snugly but with only hand pressure, seating nicely into the hub housing. No hammering required, but still a nice… 1986 Ford Bronco - More Anti-Sieze into the threads of the new alan bolts, again provided in the kit , and then install all 6 until seated, but only hand tigh… 1986 Ford Bronco - Next re-employ the same 9/64ths alan wrench as the stock bolts took and tighten down all six bolts in a stitch pattern. I don't have an inc… 1986 Ford Bronco - The alan screws provided with the hubs, unlike Warns, are identical in size, diameter, length and thread to the stockers. This means you ca… 1986 Ford Bronco - Just for the heck of it I timed myself on the other side and it took 7 minutes to swap over from stock to MileMarker, including applying al…
