Attention: TDR Forum Junkies I recently noticed that my left front hub was not unlocking, and noticed 2 things (from comparing it to the right side)
1. The springs were assembled incorectly - both springs were assembled outward of clutch ring, making it never release (and hard to remove!)
2. The small screw holding the clutch ring from coming all the way out was not there
I do not have a service manual (yet), and although the right one (and now the left as well) seem to work okay, having the left assembled completely incorrect makes me leery of the correctness of the right one.
What I am wondering is mostly two things:
1) Does the weaker spring go behind the ring, with the heavier spring between the hub retainer and the cam body, or the other way around; and
2) Is that little screw holding the clutch ring there just to make not all fall apart when you work on it, or is it a required component.
Front I believe is dana 60/61. Do not know which one or even how to tell.
I also noticed that the right one would instantly engage into lock mode, but would need the tire to move slightly to release, making a clicking sound. The left one seems to instanly release, but need slight tire movement when locking, and making a clicking sound. Should it be one, the other, both? I (as the previous ``mechanic") may have assembled them wrong
Thanks!
