I suspect that there is a whole nuther world out there where rust is not a problem? But that would make life too easy.

Ah, right Sparkem. Even so, I'd hit the little ones too. They'd break faster if stuck on with rust. Yeah, the little ones. I dont like those. A few of mine got stuck. Then stripped, the broke one on purpose because it was not coming out otherwise. I want some Aisins.
I just want to tell you both good luck, and we're all counting on you.

Indeed a wise choice. Superwinch hubs are okay, but the Aisin hubs are both more beefy and all the bolts are worry-free. No funky, fancy, tiny, little allen-head bolts to hold the cap on. They just use regular ol' 10MM hex-head bolts. Piece o' cake. I know they're hard to find, so if I find some I'll post 'em up here for-sale. Then (to borrow Les' picture) let the frenzy begin! ![[Linked Image]](http://www.fivethirty.com/images/vultures.jpg)

The little bolts have never been a problem for me. Insert hex socket and cheap extension. Smack with BFH. Repeat. Repeat. Insert ratchet and remove. If still stuck, grap air hammer with blunt end punch bit and D-D-D-D-D-D-D the housing beside the bolt while you torque it loose

True. I never really had too much trouble with the little bolts on my Superwinch hubs when I had them installed, but the relative bolts on the Aisin hubs are NO (read none, nada, zip) trouble whatsoever. They couldn't be any simpler or more headache-free. I have seen others strip-out the heads of their hex-bolts on their Superwinch hubs. Biggest reason I can think of is that they tightened them too much when installing.
