HELP!!!
Sorry if this is a double question but I can't seem to find what I'm looking for when I search for my problem.
I can't seem to get my hubs to lock. The axle shaft are turning. The shift motor is working but the hubs won't lock.
I was wondering if someone could explain how the inside of a 94 explorer auto locking hub works. I have the gear and ring out. That snap ring was a PITA! Looking inside I can't figure out how the gear comes up and locks onto the spindle. I see a plastic piece that has a piece of metal coiled up under it followed by another gear looking piece and a fat spring under that. Is the big spring suppose to push the whole assembly up? It was packed full of grease so I cleaned it out the best I could. I just don't see how the whole thing locks unless it is too dirty/gunked up for anything to move properly. It will move some when I push the whole assembly down with a flat head. Can someone help me please! Everything looks good. No wearing or anything like that.
