    Drive flanges?

    Is there a company who makes drive flanges for Explorers? I blew up a hub several years ago and am now in a position(out of school) to fix it up. I would rather not spend the money on manual hubs and I don't feel like it would be a big pain to take the flanges on and off every time I go off...
