Photo doc. of Warn WL-2 "5-Ring" rebuild: Information: Disassembly: I don't know how to get this screw out? The Flat Head Screw (1446) and Dowel Pin (1444) are staked, I have made the executive decision to leave them alone. Go ahead call me a chicken, that's just fine with me Parts: Gaskets and locks from Herm the Overdrive Guy (Great Price): Selectro hub kit has rounded lock washers. Warn kit may be for newer type hubs? Walcks has these washers: Drive Flange Gasket - Crown Automotive: Bolts - 3/8" 16 x 3" Grade 8. (Note: Original bolt has 3/4" thread length) Drive Pin: 1.0625" x 1/4" (I was hoping to replace with a dowel pin, but standard sizes run in 1/8" increments. I will clean up the originals the best I can. Original drive pin next to 1/4" x 1in dowel pin: Clean up: Edited by ggordon49 - 12 July 2018 at 9:48pm |

I found this information on eWillys, I would like to add this to the thread for information purposes. I will be using it for reference material. Still in clean-up phase, progress pics to follow. |

Got the hubs all installed... Coated the friction surfaces with grease but did not completely pack the hubs. I had to shim both sides + 1/16th of inch for the bronze dial to clear the axle shaft when in the 'lock' position. I took both sides off a couple times which was a PITA but not difficult. I used grease on my gaskets. Gave the bolts some never seize, Torqued to 35 ft/lbs and bent over the lock washers. When in the 'free' position the front drive shaft does not spin.

I just got my hands on a set of "single dot" WL-2's and will be following your rebuild info closely. From what I understand, these are the earliest versions that you had to spin a complete 360 degrees to lock/unlock.
Nice job by the way. Hopefully I can clean mine up as well as yours. Tim
