    morning y’all.
    These hubs came off D30 CJ7 donor for my CJ3B project. Dirtiest greasy mess I’ve ever seen. A few days of sitting in mineral spirits and a little scrubbing got me this.

    1. What model hubs do I have here?
    2. Worth salvaging?
    3. What holds the gear part into the hub? (The part that stays on the axle spline, spins with axle- bottom of photo.)
    4. There is an extra snap ring but it is to small to hold #3. Any ideas for this part?

    There is one hex cap bolt stripped holding the one hub together. I’m pretty sure I can get that out.

    Can’t see in photo but the locking mechanism has 4 small springs. Not the one big spring.

    They look like warn premiums. I got a set new for like 280 bucks. I run them on my rear full float axle. They work every time I drive my jeep with a PowRlok limited slip and 35's on street.

    Yes.

    Here are all the parts you should have...This pic is from my disc brake conversion tutorial. There might be more relatable info in that thread for you to reference.

    After some more cleaning and taking hubs apart I think all I need is all new bolts. Locking isn’t turning easy but it’s getting better with more cleaning.

    I run those warn hubs...very good set up. Make sure you insert the 4 springs into the proper holes in the lower section as you are putting the outer cap portion back on...its possible to put them in wrong as I found out the hard way.
