This vid is a lifesaver. I just started working on a 72 D200 I acquired and wasn't sure how that came apart. And as a bonus, I see it can even be done with one hand!
This is very interesting. I've never personally worked on this style of system. I have several videos on my page of a tutorial I did that shows the other type of system. I never had to pull the axle to get the hub off.
Thanks. Your video was super helpful. I hadn't delved into an axle & hub in a long time. My Dodge is a 1993 W-250 with Cummins. The axle nut on my truck required a 2 9/16" stamped socket. Thanks for the stamped socket info. Now, If I can just find the right lug studs. I thought that would be the easiest part (no pun intended).
i believe it is 2.5 inch, not 100% sure anymore, you can get a special socket for it at an auto parts store, took me a few stores to find one, but its a stamped sheet metal socket, a regular 3/4 or 1 inch drive 2.5" socket will be too big to fit into the hub...
thanks, I have a book for my 1980 dodge rv w/ dualies. says nothing like any of that. been working on it all damn day. now I know (thanks you you) what to try tomorrow.
This is a very helpful video but I have a question: do you need to re-add the oil that was lost when you pulled the axle nut? If so, where do you go about adding it?
Yes, on this model, that is differential oil. The center section throws oil down the tubes plus proper fluid level to keep the bearings lubricated. The differential housing has a plus in the side of the case or cover to check and add oil.
Help!!! Please!! Hey bud, I know this is a stretch cuz of such an old video. What is the name of the cone that sits inside the drum that you pointed out protects the breaks from getting oil? I bent the shit out of mine trying to put it in a new drum, and it doesn’t sit properly now, and I can’t find it anywhere
A guy should start doing videos about going long distances to buy cool old cars that have sat for years them fixing them where they are and driving them home.

Cant thank you enough sir! Getting my 91 w250 new brake parts and everything for the rear. Again thank you. 🤘
It's the same oil thats in the differential, afterwards just top off differential through plug in the middle of the back cover.
Awesome - working on 77 dodge RV - very similar rear brake setup - this video was quite helpful!
Thank you for posting this, it's just what I needed!

Instead of hammering the axle out of the hub, I connect a vise grip that has a sliding hammer attached to it. Less abuse to the steel.
