_________________________
Parts needed: AVM Manual Lockout Hubs, Model 470
Tools needed: One(1) medium width flat head screw driver
One(1) very small flat head screw driver, or dental pick
How To:
Park on a flat/level surface with ample room around the vehicle
Remove the center cap to expose your Pulse Vacuum Hubs(PVH).
Next, Use your medium flat head screwdriver to carefuly pry the PVH tabs from their seats.
Then Slide the PVH out of the wheel hub.
Next, remove the old rubber o-ring from the hub useing either the small flat headed screw driver or the dental pick.
Install the supplied new o-ring.
Place the AVM hub in the "Locked Position".
Lastly, line up the splines with the AVM hub, you may need to rotate the CV shaft to line the splines up. Once you line the hub and splines up press the hub in firmly until it clicks in place.
Put your tire back on.
*Please note that the removal of the tire isnt really nessessary, I only removed mine for this How To. *

its because 01+ doesn't have PVH hubs, its live axle. if you wanted to do this on 2001+ you need to swap in older axles and stuff

Interesting points. That's actually what I was wondering the most about; if the on-road benefits would outweigh the downsides. I honestly don't do a ton of off- roading and figure not having a live axle would save a little on wear and tear as well as help gas mileage a little bit. I hadn't really thought about the fact that you'd have to go with smaller rotors though.
