    You could use a chisel... but... let's not go there. The tool is cheap like $10 and the nut should be about $6

    It looks like a Dana 30 front hub, which is what they use on the rear full floater, the spindle is just machined in the back. My hub measures 4-1/16" tall with 2-7/8" inner diameter. image.jpeg

    You can see what I'm missing with this left & right comparison.

    I'm looking at spindle nut sets, and they are only showing one locking ring washer with all the holes for the four prong nut style. The one side (Part number: Dana Spicer 28068X) Just the nut with no pin (Dana Spicer 31139), Locking ring washer (DANA SPICER 36569)

    Any flaps should be able to find these parts with those numbers....Google works well too.

    I wonder if the two tabbed washers are for the other style that we typically see on the jeeps?



    @47v6 that explains why I have seen those before... I was going crazy not being able to remember where I saw them.

    Yeah...I've got them in my Amazon cart (28068X).

    So I don't need the top left washer?

    You can also use the standard setup off a Cj front axle.
    It looks like you have a mix and only half of either setup.

    Thought so.

    I can get the missing pieces shipped to the door for under $20.

    You prefer that compared to the nuts with pins? I kinda like the pins, but I don't know any better.

    Yes. Simple and only need one spindle socket. They are thinner also so the outer nut fully engages the spindle.

    If I remember when i had the warn kit years ago, the lock out hubs were internal type with the o-ring. Since you can run the kit to use the gear oil instead of grease for the bearings, the o-ring kept it inside.

    Received the $1.79 part of my order today. I had to post the ridiculousness of it...:D

    Shipped from Nevada to Hermiston Oregon, roughly 30/40 minutes from my house and crossed over into WA. Went through the Tri-Cities (where I live) to Spokane WA (2 hrs from my house) just to turn around and come back to the Tri-Cities to be put on the truck for delivery.

    It came in a little box that was wrapped in bubble wrap and placed in a much larger box VS a yellow padded envelope! o_O

    I'm happy to ship off spare parts I have but a few times the shipping is more than the part is worth. Sometimes I just give the parts away to save the person some $. I have no idea how to ship that 3B frame or body.
    That could have been shipped in a $1.19 cushion mailer.
