So I finally got my 1995 Xplorer 400 running and driving after ignoring it all summer. Then I got the wiring figured out for the 4×4 (bought it as junk for a case of beer, she’s a fixer upper) and found I only had three wheel drive. Ok fine, so I check the wiring going to and from the hub, that all tests fine, so I took the hub off to find the hilliard is trash. No suprise there, the flat piece with the three tabs chewed the crap out of the aluminum hilliard carrier so it couldn’t lock up.
My question is, how strongly should the coil hold the flat piece with the tangs to it. I can pull it off by hand easy and spin it easy. Is that still enough to lock the hilliard is is the coil weak too? I could take the other side apart to check but I figured I’d ask first. I can always take it apart while I’m waiting for parts for this side if I have to.
