I've watched this video so damn much I feel like I know the guy. This is the only video I've found that shows the exact series of spacers coming out of the hub.

I'm still driving my 96 F250, 4x4 ,extended cab, 7.5 liter, auto trans, heavy duty, that I bought new. The first day when I arrived home from the dealership, I drove to the back 40 and got stuck it in some red clay, only because, the auto hub locks would not stay locked in. I pulled it out and drove straight to the local 4x4 shop and bought a new Warn manual hub kit, drove back home and changed them out. I drove to the 40 , got out and locked the hubs in, and idled on through the slick red clay with ease. Today I packed the bearings for the third time, and replaced the rotors and pads. I still like it better than any of the newer trucks from Ford , Chevy, or Dodge.

Just what I was looking for. Great video. Saved me hundreds!!

Size of socket is 2 3/4 inch I appreciate your video excellent job my friend God bless

rule # 1 after jacking any vehicle off the ground and especially before removing the tires so you can work on it put a jack stand under the frame and ease the weight from the jack down on the stand didn't see one under this truck - come getcha some in ft Smith AR has a new design lock nut retaining clip for a whole lot less than 130 for both sides

Nice video helps me a lot thanks man hopefully you do some more great videos like this one 🤝🤝🤝🤝🤝🤝🤝

Thank you, much appreciation.

good helping video. thanks

Holy fuck a wild man! Don't forget to put some some jack stands under your rig, people!

Great video, thanks

That castle socket can be found at O Rileys’s and that C clip is found on eBay

great video . Thank you. Did you make a video of reassembly? I'd like to know how tight to make that bearing retainer nut.

Thanx man my clip was broken also

Thanks for the help. having trouble removing retainer clip. Would it help to possible move nut to remove clip?? Also cannot find the torque for nut. Is there a lbs. to set than back off to finally lbs. Hope I'm not to late for a response.Thanks again in advance if able to answer Lbs. question.

You may need to very slightly loosen the nut to remove the clip. Do not remove the nut without removing the clip because you will break the clip. I'm not able to answer the lbs question sorry.

Did you get it im having the same problem

awesome video man thank you can you tag the hall joint video please

Thanks for doing this it helped a bunch. I've pulled the spindle nut but the hub won't come off. Wheel bearing turns freely but noisy. The hub will not come off! I knocked the lug bolts out on the vehicle thinking that would free the hub up but its not budging. Working a prybar between the rotor and the hub but no give. Question for you. In the vid you only pulled one hub nut out. A lot of the videos show 2 hub nuts with a locking washer between. Was there only 1 nut on yours. If there's another nut in mine there is nothing to hold it to turn. I think it's just the edge of the race but I'm not sure. Any info you could give me would certainly be appreciated. Thanks for your video again. Doug Henson

Good video. Only difference is mine didn't have the first snap ring. Instead it had this little half C clip.

would you happen to know the part numbers for the 3 washers that come out after the horse shoe retainer clip

Hello Tim P, I like your video very much. Do you know where I can get a 1997 Ford F250 4x4 automatic locking hub?

@timpemberto

7 жыл бұрын

I would suggest a junk yard. But if your truck has manual hubs I'd leave them alone and not switch to auto locking.

Safety! Please don't rely upon your hydraulic jack to keep things elevated while you are working on a vehicle. Vehicle should be on a firm, level surface with wheels chocked against movement forward AND backward. Use jack stands equal or better than your vehicle's weight (jack stands are ridiculously inexpensive). Make sure they are also set up on a firm, level surface. If you are working alone, make sure you have your phone readily at hand and your jack in a position to lift or also readily at hand just in case something goes horribly wrong.

2020, all the harbor freight stands were just recalled, and in true HF fashion, all the replacements were also recalled (late June recall).

Precursor:(DO NOT TURN AXLE NUT WITHOUT REMOVING C-CLIP YOU WILL FUCK IT UP AND LIKE TIM SAID $120 FOR A KIT or A TRIP TO YOUR LOCAL JUNKYARD)Tim great video but you failed to point out which washer(1st or 3rd) has the internal spline grooves for the shaft.That happens to be my damn dilemma right now.Tools needed in order of use are;T-25 torx bit for the dust cap,2 small screw drivers for the retaining ring,snap ring pliers for snap ring,needle nose pliers and or small screw driver for washers,small screw drivers or magnet for retaining c-clip.You may have to use the axle nut socket and tighten or loosen just a tiny bit to relieve pressure on c-clip so it will come out easier.If you want the whole shebang a 2 3/4" axle nut socket(from NAPA with 1/2' drive for $11).Keep up the good work Tim and thanks,JB from St.Louie.GO CARDINALS and BLUES.
