Long shot and sorry for off topic need help with f250 manual locking hub

[JoelD]

Well no surprise I post f250 question on a tractor forum and get more responses than if I had posted on Ford forum. thanks all!! Pic of new locking hub. Circled what broke on old which left gears in hub on axle. I PB Blasted then drove around. The locking gear popped out a bit and unlocked. I could grab with needle nose pliers and then was able to pull it out. I then was able to grab the plastic tabs and pull remaining gear set out. Of new doesn’t fit and need to order another. Thanks again!!

2016, 56k miles. Honestly a bit disappointed that they needed to be replaced so soon. The truck gets light, regular use. I guess either my expectations are too high or is true that some things aren’t built like they used to be. Also interesting how much plastic, maybe a must have?
Thanks again?

The spin out I showed is '00 with 280K miles. Won't auto engage anymore. Both are original. Moderate use.

Your entire wheel hub assembly is different.

Glad you were able to get it apart. Hope the replacement serves you well!!!
