the thing i beleive is the snap ring should that fit into the big washer tightly
on one side its a tight fit and the other its just flopping around

any help or pics would be great

Snap rings are circlips.

Have a look at the diagram I posted.

"Brake A" should not be able to fit inside "Brake B", if they can they are worn out, it is the friction of these parts against each other that engages and dissengages the hubs. You may find if you mix the Brake rings from both sides that you can produce 2 pairs that aren't too badly worn so that you can get the hubs to work properly. Make sure that the lugs are complete on the brake rings it appears to be those that break off when they are abused.

Can anyone else see it?

Suggest problem is with your DNS server - it will come back up at some stage. Will try to upload it to site instead.

got it now thanks for being so patient

Just a thought from me extreme
I replaced the brake rings on one side only as the other looked ok but
it broke again . I gave up and went to manuals because had no time to mess about but if I remember someone said that you need to replace both sides even if it looks ok to get it working right
I think jims terrano had the same problem
Good luck

extreme-4x4 · 06-02-2009, 20:52

ahh it all makes sense now.... the wonders of pictures. so the one i thought was playing up or worn is actually ok .

now i just have to re do the other side tomorrow now. just to make sure

Yes that can be the case. I had one jammed in the locked position but its the other side that makes the noise as it tries to engage all the time with everythung going in the wrong direction.

extreme-4x4 · 06-02-2009, 21:02

so what makes them jam?
how do you free them?
what action should be taken then? - swap brake rings a to opposite sides like you said before?

or do you gust free them and re grease ?

Terranosaurus · 06-02-2009, 21:17

Mne jammed on cos the break rings were worn, they were ok to lock the hubs in but couldn't get em out. I used a soft brass drift to hammer the centre round dissengage it.

When stripping and cleaning em you need to go further than the diag above show. Theres a circlip in the main body to get out and then you can withdraw the actual locking but - thats in the download I think.

If you look at the main body part fully assembled ther should be some ramp type bits and some lugs inside em they should be roughly lined up in the unlocked position. Eay was to tell if they are locked in. Put your fingers in the splines and try to turn the main body - will also give you a good idea of why it needs greasing and why they can get hot if not lubed properly.
