Lock out hubs

[Ratchetop]

I received my AVM hubs this week and I have a question. Do I need to grease the inside of the Hubs before I install them? I looked around and couldn't find anything said about Itami it doesn't say in the instructions.

In the maintenance instructions it says never to use any grease.

Now, if it was just for function then yes, better NO grease than too much!
But for durability and to prevent corrosion I would recommend covering all metal parts with a thin film of grease. A toothbrush works great for that.

Thank you for your help

A thin film of Graphite Grease. (but!) IF your deuce is NOT fitted with the "air shift" engagement" option, (then) do NOT even trouble yourself to install them.

I have already changed out the transfer case to air select. I'm in the process of getting the trans assembled with the 5th gear mod. Get the lock out hubs on. I got a 24v to 12v converter to supply the turbo boost gage and pyrometers gage.
I hope to get all this done this week end if the rain stays away.

Thank you and thanks to the people on SS for all the help on getting accurate information on what to do and what works. The information has been a great help in working on my Deuce.

You know you could swap out the 12v bulbs in the gauges for 24v, just sayin...

The Gage's I purchased did not have removable bulbs. I bought this, it was 25 bucks and free shipping. I can run some more small stuff also if I need to.

Yup handy enough. I'd put a phone charger port in. When not charging your phone, you could use a radar detector so you don't get a speeding ticket.






Bwaaaahahahahahaha




What brand is the gauge.

 

[Ratchetop]

The gauges are an off brand I picked up on eBay. Yea with the new 5th gear I might go faster than the speed of smell haha.

We deuce owners and operators are in trouble when the police create an infraction for excessive stopping distance.
