Timken bearings from a bearing supply house turned out to be cheaper than my jobber's off shore brand. Inners (left) were $13.23 CDN and outers (right) were $14.51 respectively

First thing off, after the caliper. Ford wants $64 CDN for this red(now pink) faded plastic twist lock. Guess I'll be yarding again soon with a can of red spray paint.

Thank goodness my buddy made me buy 12 brand new alan screws from the dealer last year. They came out easily with all the anti-seize lube on them.
|
|
|
Only one philips holds the next ring on.
|
|
|
Digging this ring out is easier said than done.
|
|
|
This however was easy to remove.
|
|
|
This pulled out really easily with the alan screws to hold on to.

After drifting out the 5 wheel lug studs, seperate the hub from the rotor with a cold chisel, hammer and finese(if you're changing the rotor like me).

If the guy who invented this bearing packer ain't up for sainthood, he ought to get a knighthood or something. It's great.

The socket on the right is the one for our Ford's. The one on the left claims to do Bronco's but it just ain't so !

|
With my kind of 1986 Dana 44 manual hub bearings they wanted 70lbs to seat them, then back off a 1/4 turn and re-torque to 15-20 ft/lbs.
|
|
|
After the bearing lock nut is torqued, clean out the remaining grease and coat everything in anti-seize. That's what works up here at -45, grease doesn't !
