I did think that plastic was probably not the best material to use.
Perhaps they had run out of cheese or chocolate.

I may well replace them with those superior quality items as time/budget permits.

or some vits have some fitted with ones that are basicly the same as the aisin ones but without the name on them
Are these the same as those on SJ?

I dont know if they are the same as sj ones but certainly very similar.

I was trying to avoid saying "just bin them and fit the aisin ones" but they are far superior. :D

aisin ones came fitted to some sj's & fit vits too

the other ones are fitted to some vits & are just as good as the aisin ones

Yeah they are a bit much
I would just get a set of standard hubs until you get some cash, I wouldn't trust them plastic ones :lol:

Well, that was interesting. I managed to remove the hub fairly easily.
I eventually worked out how to take it to bits.
Still couldn't budge the locking dial (or whatever it is called).

I did manage to put it back together locked, so I can use my 4x4 as a 4x4.

So, it is time to look out for replacements.
