Thanks John.

My flange is fine. I am wondering if my problem is in the automatic hub. I was not able to figure out how to dissemble the darn thing. So I cleaned it best I could with a combination of degreasers, rinsed it with oil and then re-greased like a wheel bearing. I am wondering if it has to much grease in and it won't compress enough. Is there a way to disassemble the auto hub?
