Just put new bearings and universals on my frontend and snap :***: one of the screws that hold the locking cap on.
Does anyone have a spare locking hub they want to sell? It's for a 94 f250 D50 30 spline. I can paypal.

Thanks

Is the hardware store closed?

I guess I didn't make myself clear, It not the allen screw I need it's the locking hub where the screw goes in to hold the hub cover with the selector. Anyone that would post to buy a 5 cent allen screw should drive thier truck to the nearest junk yard and have it crushed. Anyway went to my local pick and pull and didn't have any luck there so I though I'd post but I'll probably just special order a set on Monday.

Is the screw broke off flush with the hub? Have you tried removing it at all? I've removed 2 or 3 broken screws from the inner hub assembly with either vice grips on the exposed part or a small punch to turn it out backwards.

yes I tried but it snapped about 1/4" below the surface of the hub making it difficult to center punch.
I went to carquest and ordered a set of Mile Markers should have them on Monday.

Thanks

Can you center punch it and use a left hand drill? It doesn't always work but sometimes ya get lucky.

I'll take a two person return to hawaii!!!

Sorry Calvin, just trying to ease the tension!

On another note...in canse the OP didn't know...the hubs are the same on a D50 as a D60. They willinterchange between F250 and F350.

Actually, there is a list about a mile long that our locking hubs fit. I did a lot of digging when I bought a new pair for my D60.
