Re: Front Hubs Not Locking UP

I meant to get to the hubs last saturday but the belts on the wife's Maytag washer went bad and that had to take priority ove the Sidekick.
Okay, I tried to remove the front hubs but was unable to because I couldn't find the right size allen wrench. The one I have is slightly smaller than what I need. It must be a metric size. The Haynes manual I have shows hex nuts holding the hubs on. The Haynes book doesn't give any information about rebuilding of fixing the hubs either. Until I get the hubs off, I can't update. I'll try to get the right allen wrench from Auto Zone or Home Depot and see what happens.

So im thinking that either theres a problem with the 4H setting or it just evens out the traction on all 4 tires a little less than when in the low setting. Its hard to look out the window and see if the tires are spinning, but i managed and when in 4L mine were spinning but not in 4H. So I guess my question is have you tried to drive it in 4L? I know it sounds like a tank in 4L but its loads of fun in the snow, especially with this monster storm we just got.
