/quote]They help along with the six studs. I have never met a Warn hub on a Toyota that I liked. Them seem to loosen, start moving and break studs and pins. Why, lack of cone washers. [/quote]
EXACTLY!!! These pins are a PITA! I dunno what type of steel they are made of but we figured out they were just killing the bits today. I'm going to pick up a carbide drill bit and try that sucker out. Anynbody know what grade of stell the factory ones are? The 30-06 comes next. Anyways. I figured out a way to beef up the warn hubs at the bolt on point. I'm going to counterbore the stud holes to accept cone washers (They may be a pain but not as much of a pain as broken pins) or find a sleeve that will fit tightly around my new bolts and bore the mount holes on the hubs to barely meet the OD of the sleeve. In theory this should make the mounts stroner than the OEM hubs. drive gear will still be weak though. I'm using 12.9 alloy (double the strength of a grade 8.8 which I think the OEM units are) bolts to go where the broken OEM studs were. I'm not aware of anything tougher than those except maybe the ARP units but thats probably only by a narrow margin. Yay or nay?
