Do Warn hubs need grease?
I’ve included the exploded parts diagram of Warn’s small hub conversion kit here as a quick reference as I go through the rest of this write-up. Part #11 (isn’t it cool how Warn printed the part numbers 10 and 11 upside down in their diagram) is the grease seal that is pressed into the hub.

Correct, just lightly coat. Putting too much grease in there could easily cause problems with needed parts movement when locking/unlocking the hubs. The only movement in the hubs is the locking ring sliding on the splines.
How do GM auto locking hubs work?
The locking mechanism inside an automatic locking hub is sort of like a one-way clutch. When torque is applied by the driveshaft, it forces the hub to slide in and lock. The hub then remains in the locked position as long as the transfer case remains in four-wheel drive.
How do you test a manual locking hub?
Lock both hubs, get under the truck, & turn the front d’shaft while watching the U-joints in each steering knuckle. The one that continues to spin is broken. If they both lock & you can’t turn the d’shaft any more, the t-case is the problem.
How do you clean warn hubs?
