BarbieTracker, about where are you located? Someone here on the list may be a neighbor and could spend some time with you to explain the mechanicals of your Tracker.

OK Wild, here is where I got. First of all I ditched the book cause I don't think it was necessary or specific enough for my situation.
I pulled the cover off of the hub (6 allan key bolts) I was trying to pull the cover gently off but then it just popped out... I noticed the spring was attached to the hub, well, not anymore :) Then I took off the 6 bolts that hold the hub on... I looked inside it and it was dry/slightly corroded, also a little rusty. So from there after staring at it for a while I decided to clean up the spring and throw some grease on the hub. Not sure where to put the grease on there so I just put it on everything :) haha, really, I did.
Now the problem... like you said earlier, how the hell do you get that spring back on? ! I think I could do it if I were sure of how it went on.... The hub surrounds the axle shaft, but has 2 inner ridges...follow me and see if this makes sense to you... Does the spring wrap around the closest part to the axle shaft or the outer wall of the hub?
I know what I mean, but not sure if I explain it good enough for you... Thanks if you can help

the spring presses the collar down to the axle shaft so it hooks to it(best i can explain it).  it also takes it back when the hub is unlocked. so it needs to be hook to the pease that moves in and out.

Ok, I have it on the piece that moves in and out, that is the piece that is part of the cover (the back of the actual mechanism to turn the lock the hubs) it's the other part I don't get, on the spindle... there are 2 spots that it could hook to, do you think it would be easier if I pulled the spring off of the cover and put it on the spindle, then tried to put the spring on the cover again? Is that possible?

Ok, I didn't go to bed yet. I noticed in the diagram that it shows a bolt and washer that goes into the end of the shaft.
I don't have that! After thinking about it some more, I don't know if I have that clutch in there either, unless its in the hub, but it's definitely not on the cap. I dunno, I guess i'll have  better look at it tomorrow but I remember when I took it apart thinking that it looked like something should be there... Oh well
Thanks again, it's going to be very helpful.

OK, see if this helps, you have the hub body (6 cone bolts)
you have the hub cover with the turning part (6 allens)
inside you have 2 springs, and a splined center piece
that hooks to the spring, this part engages the axle spline
piece.

The loose splined part has a groove that goes around it on
one side, this is where the short spring hooks into, Oh also
you have a thin stamped steel thing that goes between the
2 springs DON'T Take It Apart, it's a PITA to get back together
right.

OK the long spring goes next to the turning cover, the 2 tabs that
stick out farthest on the metal thin piece go into the cam groove in
the cap, so as you turn it it moves in and out, also you will notice the
edges of the  metal thin piece have like square cut gear teeth around
the edge, these have to line up right with the splined center piece or
it won't work right. The wide spot on the center part, where it looks like
the teeth are missing is where the spring and metal tab go.

The short side of the spring goes around the inside of the center splined
part. This should hold the cap, both springs, the thin metal thing and center
splined part all together. Now look closely at the marks on the hub body,
you should see where the little hole in the cover once was, put the cover
back on in the same position, or the hub won't work right, put in the cone
bolts, and 2 of the hex bolts and test for proper opperation, if it turns and
then clicks to engage and the half shaft turns, it's right, put all the bolts in
and proceed to the other side, repeat the process so you don't get stuck
on the trail somtime in the future.

I hope this is clear enough and not mud

Good Luck
