Hi Guys and Gals just bought my first series with FWH but one will engage and the other wont! is there a way of freeing the stubborn one up? sorry if this has been covered before.
Free wheeling hubs?

Most are Fairey or AVM....don't know much about the automatic ones.
The ones I've had you just remove the end cover and the innards pull straight out. If you want to remove the whole body, take the crown nut off in the centre and undo the bolts around the outside and it just pulls off.
They're pretty simple and anything broken will be obvious, otherwise it's probably just a case of clean up, grease and replace.

not necessarily, easy way to check quickly if you can remember
were they round or did they have a raised bar in the centre ? The fairey ones don't have the bar in the centre you turn the outside edge of the hub instead of the bit in the centre

yes I thought so James could it be caused by a loose UJ as most of the noise "appears to be coming from the transmission brake" there seems like a lot of slop
if that makes sense
