    How do you do this? At $400 and change, I think the troll might just get itself an auto locker before the cape trip...

    It was a while ago i did mine ,so maybe search how to get your hubs apart if your not 100% sure, but its very easy, basically, you remove the hub, the bit you can now see inside that looks kinda of like a big washer, is the bit that you need to remove.

    From memory, I held the hub in hand, with the "outside" face pointing up, then i tapped the "inside" outer edge/face of the hub down on a bit of timber, till the guts of the hub fall out , just remove the washer looking bit that comes out first (this is the "auto" part) then just put it back together and on the car (leaving the washer bit out)


    Then ,auto = free, lock = lock.


    I think i locked hub with wheelbrace to hold the guts of the hub while re-installing.




    I just keep/poke my wheelbrace under the side of the drivers seat for easy access

    3D when you said you cant unlock and auto lockka,,, you missed how the auto lokka actually works,,,, they should really be call unlokka's. i have a goanna lokka in the front of my GU and when engaging 4wd they remain locked as in turning on an air lokka they remain like this at all times when in 4wd the differance is that they sense the preasure caused from steering and then UNLOCK which is why they should be called unlokkas this allows you to manouver with out having to fumble with switches as for catching up with the convoy if your using proper convoy proceedures the convoy should not have left you behind unless your making an ass out of yourself and they are trying to get rid of you.

    @ bloodyaussie the best thing i ever did to my GU was the auto lokka from goanna 4wd systems which is a copy of the lock rite lokka and matched it up with reduction gearing from marks adapters the lokka works fantasticly no air lines or wire to get caught on and they are solid i doubt if i will ever break it as for the reduction gears i now have nothing but control and traction of road now the only moving parts in the auto lokka are the springs that put the tension on unit they are a very tight fit into the front diff as for the rear diff if it is slipping i would recomend shimming it up to tighten it before putting any sort of lokka in the rear.

    I have had my hubs apart many times on the GQ and my old Hilux so am no stranger... I really did not need the sell on the auto locker more that I wanted opinions of the different ones and cost and where they got them from..... thanks very much for the tips !!
