Hey All,
I'm thinking of switching the free wheeling hubs on my series 2 to the permanently locked hubs (same as on the back wheels).
In reading other sites, is this really as simple as swapping out the drive flanges, seals etc?
Thanks,
Mike
As long as you are able to open the center diff they will work. But I thought the vehicles that had free wheel hubs lost that....best to check with those that know much more then I do just to make sure..... ???
Yes, it is that simple.

No center diff. Rear wheel drive or four wheel drive.
Wow, that's awesome - thanks gentlemen!!
The number of times a 'simple' issue on my truck turned into something bigger, I'm immediately suspicious if something is truly as easy as it sounds. haha!!
It is that simple. Just make sure you have the little felt/rubber seal fitted to the end of the axle half shaft. I have read that this can be the cause of oil leaks out the hub, when normal wheel flanges are fitted.
