Free wheel hubs to normal hubs?

Hi all, my 109 has an lt77 box so permanent 4x4 but it still has
fwh on the front axle. One of them is missing its end so
constantly free wheeling. I'd like to put standard hubs on in
place. Is this expensive and is it straight forward to do?
Many thanks
Ed

Dirt cheap and dead easy to refit standard drive flangers less
than £20 I would have said. take the hubs off an refit with
drive flangers with new gasket and felt washers, put the axle on
a tilt to stop all the oil escaping.

Unless you have a CV jointed axle, you will have steering judder
on cornering on tarmac, the stage ones had cv front axles for
that reason

So do I need them then? I have swivels but that's it?

no you don't need the freewheel hubs but when you fit the drive
members remember to take the transfer box out of difflock
if you want to ask someone who really knows the Series AND LT77
combination i suggest you ask Icey
