As amilla says, the best is OEM manual lockers.

You can find them in salvage yards on 4wd Trackers and Sidekicks

You can get them used from Hawks Strictly Suzuki (google them) and other vendors.

Since the snap ring is behind the locking hub, all you have to do is remove the six bolts that hold the hub assembly to the hub itself - not the ones on the end of the locking hub.

I hope that this helps!

Totaly agree with ACK, I tried the WARN's thinking they were an "upgrade" and they did not last.  A buddy of mine in a Yota club told me the same thing.

I'm running some manuals off a 97 tracker and they haven't failed yet. I think the sami hubs might be better though.
SAS Tracker! No looking back now.
