After following MAXC's online instructions on how to pull my auto hubs apart, it says to put what it called the factory o-rings back in. That just doesn't seem right considering that these expensive looking parts would not be resting on a flat surface anymore, with the auto hub assembly off. They would be resting against the head of a phillips screw. Anybody know anything about this, it just didn't seem like something was right...

I'm one of the guys that wrote that HOWTO. what do you mean on the head of a philips head screwdriver. with the auto hub totally off they sit on a flat surface. did you take the last piece of the hub off.

IIRC when we did Synchro's hub install we did use the O rings and when we did mine, we left them out to see if it effected the hubs at all. So far, it hasn't. Warn made no mention of the O rings in their TERRIBLE instructions so we just decided to go with trial and error ...

actually they made no mention of them in the instructions, but they are in the diagram provided by Warn, it was very confusing, hence the HOWTO. but the diagram doesn't say conclusively where to put them. so as philosopher said, we tried it one way one and the other on his, and no difference. we have both been running them like this since october or so.

Yeah, I took off the last piece, the one held by the pain-in-the-ass clip, and there were 2 phillips head screw heads there.
