Progress made today. Got the hub assemblies apart, but stripped one of the allen screws holding a hub cap on -__- Had to drill off the head of the bolt. Once i got both caps off I had no idea how to get the rotors off till i found a thread showing, of course, a 4WD hub removal tool. One autozone trip later I got everything apart.
Also the bearing retainers. Are they.two peice? supposed to come apart? Cause the driver side one came out in two peices, but the passenger side came out in one peice.

It's an easy swap. I did the 5 speed and 4x4 swap in a night plus a 6" lift. Started at like 2pm and was all done by 2am. Plus a 30 pack and a bottle and sh*t started going great. Haha. It was just me and buddy while I was doing the 4x4 swap he did the trany and transfer and drive shaft swaps.
On the hub part warn cheapos are perty good, the premiums suck huge ***** monkey *****. I got a set from a junk yard brand new the box was still in the truck blew them both the first night in the mud locked in. I was pissed stripped the hell out of them my father's truck has premium super winch and the have never failed him once but I also had cheapo version super winch and ya they fell apart. Right now I'm running cheapo warns and they click and drag sometimes when locked but other then that they haven't failed me but only had them for 2 months. So to me they ain't broke in. Haha.

Going to be installing the front diff and suspension this weekend. Whats the chance of the 2wd calipers/pads fitting and working on the 4wd rotors/hubs?

Nevermind. looked up the parts on autozone.com. Part #s for the pads and calipers are the same for the 4wd bronco as my 2wd F150. Awesome, cause theyre brand new. Lol

Alright! So the guy I bought the parts from texted me and told me he found some paper work on the axles. Turns out the guy that used to own the bronco put $700 bucks into a LockRight locker/install fees. Im not sure if anything was done to the rear, but that front ones got a locker for sure.
