WARN32720 Locking Hub Spindle Nut Conversion Kit

I ultimately decided on the Warn brand after comparing to the Mile Marker. Couldn’t be happier. Not much can fail here as they are straight up metal. Absolutely clear and concise instructions (better than what I’ve seen in a while). I’m not a mechanic and I have never converted auto locking hubs to manual hubs...fear not, these instructions were developed for people like me (diagrams, pictures and text). As soon as I opened the box I knew I would be fine. Highly recommend.

I bought this to go with the Warn 29071 manual hub conversion kit. The lock washer is of poor design and quality. The index tab that locks it into place is too short. When I went to torque the outer ring, the tab slipped out and started to rotate along with the inner ring, putting too much torque on the bearing. All it needs is a slight re-design to make the tab longer. There is plenty of room for a longer tab. Oddly this happened on one side only.

I replaced the automatic front hubs on my 1994 Mazda B4000 with WARN manual locking hubs (29071)This is the spindle nut kit (32720) that is needed to do so.WARN makes good quality, don't waste your money on the other options.

I broke the little nub on the inner locking nut when removing my original warn locking nut. Underneath all that old grease is a slot for the locking washer, don't force the washer out! This was an exact replacement. Torqued it down to 135 LBS and then backed it off 90 degrees. Worked like a charm. Wish it wasn't so expensive for a few nuts and washers.

See Tom G’s review: same thing happened to me. The indexing tab on the washer is too short for the slot. I have 2,000 miles on mine, but this probably happened when I was installing them. There’s no way to tell this happened on a 96 Bronco, until you remove the outer nut. So... even if I get a replacement set, who knows if the same thing happened? Terrible n

Excellent quality. I’ve seen the negative reviews - if these people would read the insert that comes with the product (all of about two sentences), or even just use their common sense, they wouldn’t have installed incorrectly and the product wouldn’t have failed. Warn makes an excellent product... leaders in the industry in fact. Definitely would buy again.

Worked fantastic for my 1987 Ford Bronco converting from the 5 bolt auto hubs to a set of Warn Manual lockers. Perfect fit, no issues.

Yes, these nuts looked very, very much like the stock spindle nuts on my 1981 Chevy K-10.Replaced the stock nuts easily. Actually almost exactly. Such that my stock spindle nuts would have worked initially.But there is certainly a big advantage in using the Warn nuts when the spindles must be serviced, they lock down much better than the GM factory installed units.

I like the ease of installation. The only thing I didn't like was the small holes are a nuisance when using a ratchet and appropriate socket with a ratchet style tourque wrench. There's not much for the socket pins to grip . Since the tourque applied wasn't centred , (as it would with a electric impact or something similar) it was a slight pain but other than that, a good product. Very quick to install.

works

Not sure what to say, really does exactly as advertised lol.... Skookum.
