Hi All,
Im thinking about having a "lokka" installed in the front of my 98 MK Triton.
I have been told by a few people I would be best off haveing freewheeling / manual hubs installed first..
Has anyone done this, is it hard to do at home?
Any information appreciated...
Cheers Shaun

Re: Freewheeling Hub Conversion
My advice is to steer clear of the AVM branded hubs. I had endless drama's with mine not engaging properly and dis-engaging under load etc. They also let a lot of water into the wheel bearing and hub and i was forever cleaning and re-packing front bearings. After about 2 years i threw them in the bin and got a second hand set of Aisin hubs off a Triton and have never looked back. I have noticed on e-bay there are some Aisin copies. May be worth a try. http://www.ebay.com.au/sch/i.html?_from ... Categories" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
