Wheel bearings? Auto hubs?

[beexy]

So as per my previous post. Though stuffed wheel bearings. Finally went to have a look today. Jacked it up. Went to lock the auto hubs but wouldn't. Closer inspection showed the little plate with the arrow gone. When trying to lock just keeps spinning.

My third thanks for the link. The issue I'm having is i can't even lock the hubs now. The nut just keeps on spinning if that makes sense. Not sure if you can take the auto hub off of you can't lock it?

Is it my imagination or does it look like something's come off the edges of the auto hub assembly centre bolt?!!

I guess, you can take it off, but not without causing crud to get into the bearing assembly and damage it in no time.
Auto hub or manual hub assembly works as a bearing dust cap as well, afaict.

If the auto hub is stuffed and not engaging at all, I guess you can leave it until you fix it, unless the auto hub on the other side is working improperly and engaging when not in 4wd mode.

Either way, I think it's a good idea to take the auto hub out and examine the wheel bearings closely, as well as the caliper, pads, rotors, etc.
