Cutaway parts drawing of a Warn manual locking front hub showing the internal LOCK and FREE mechanism.

AI caption · Photo 17 of 101

This document is a cutaway (sectional) illustration of a Warn manual locking hub, the type used on the front axle of four-wheel-drive vehicles such as the Ford Bronco. The hub's dial face is visible at the top, marked "WARN LOCKING HUB" with directional arrows indicating the "LOCK" and "FREE" positions to which the dial is turned to engage or disengage the front wheel from the axle shaft. The cutaway view exposes the internal mechanism, showing the dial cap, the internal cam and toothed clutch/gear ring, the splined inner drive hub, and the outer housing. Several leader lines point to these internal components, but any accompanying labels or legend text fall outside the cropped image area, so no component names, part numbers, or specifications can be read. A reader can learn from this illustration how the hub's rotating dial actuates an internal sliding clutch mechanism that couples or decouples the wheel hub from the axle, and can visually identify the major internal parts of a Warn locking hub for disassembly or inspection purposes. No year, model, or applicability information appears in the document itself.
