Any parts store repair manual should have that.
What are you having a problem with? It is pretty straight forward except for the PITA wheel bearing torque.

Thumbs up

Thanks for the reply. Well....son took hub apart. As WE go through the learning curve to put it back together, I want to be sure all parts are assembled correctly. Some may require a special orientation for example. We have a book that covers that year model, however it does not reflect a specific diagram of the assemble..

You could always take apart the other hub and pay attention to order of assembly.
This could also be an ideal time to upgrade to Warn hubs. ABout $65 for regular warn manual hubs and $100 for premiums (not much better, just a little shinier.) They will come with instructions.
Put it together in the unlocked position. Put a LITTLE grease on the mechanism (too much will interfere with smooth operation.) Make sure the snap ring is in the groove. That's about it.

Mike,
Thanks for the info. I think you hit it on the head. This IS an opportunity to look at the other side and service. Thanks
