Auto hub compatability

[Elmo]

I have a 1990 Eddie Bower with the 3 ***** auto hubs,of which one has bursted into several pieces. I have aquired a set of 5 ***** auto hubs from a later model (one with the more rounded front). I got the nuts and locking washer with the 5 ***** hubs. I have not attempted to swap the two sets yet, is there anything in paticular that I should be aware of in this swap?

yo Elmo;

here ya go

3 ***** to Warn® w/ Bearing Locknut Torque Settings in a 95 (but his TORQUES are off a bit).

miesk5 NOTE:

"Word for word from Haynes Manual Ford Pickups and Bronco 1980 - 1996 Using a lockout spanner (ford # T59T-1197-B or equivalent) and a torque wrench, tighten the inner bearing adjusting nut to 50 foot pounds while rotating the wheel back and forth and seating the bearing. Back off the adjusting nut approximately 45 degrees. Assemble the lock washer by turning the inner lockout to align the pin with the nearest hole in the lock washer. To lock it, install the outer lock nut and tighten it to 150 foot pounds. Grab the top of the tire with one hand and the bottom of the tire with the other. Move the tire in and out on the spindle. End play should be less than .006 – inch.)" thanks to Chris!!!!

Thanks miesk5 i will hopefully get this done this weekend. One question thuogh one of the 5 ***** hubs has a lot of slop between the outter part that splines into the hub and the inner portion that splines onto the shaft. Do you think this would indicate something worn or broken? they both spin freely just one has lots more slop in it. will try to take pics
