These guys probably are a bunch of idiots by the way they mount the thing. I wonder how they broke it down. I changed a lot of these things back in their day. I still have some simply because I haven't been able to find enough lock ring type for all of the two tons I have. When I mount them, I put in a cage and clip an air regulated air chuck to them. I stand where I can watch if they seat correctly and I can hear when they snap into place.
I don't recommend using them, but until you find replacements, what do you do? Its not a bad idea to run them on the steer and the rear inside and if you have at least 2 lock ring type put them on the outside drive.
