OK, I am betting that this topic has been beat to death because
everyone I know who owns or has owned an Explorer absolutely hates
these auto hubs.  Well here goes anyhow:  I recently bought a 94
explorer xlt.  Beautiful rig in perfect mechanical shape.  However the
front drive shaft is permanantly engaged.  Not the 4wd, just the front
drive shaft.  Well I figured no biggy, I have an older rig that was
converted to the manual locking hubs.  I went to swap them over not
realizing that there was a conversion fit and low and behold they don't
fit.  I did some scouring on this board and realized that there is a
conversion kit that I need.  So my question is can I take the
conversion kit off of the old explorer and put it onto the new one to
get them to fit or should I just buy a new kit.  It looks like they are
only about 50 bucks new.  If that is the case I might be better off
just buying a new kit.  Which brings me to question 2:  What is
involved in installing the conversion kit?  And if I can take the kit
off of the old explorer what exactly do I need to take off?  I greatly
appreciate any and all help eveyone.

Thanks
Dan
