Nice job. My only suggestion would be, since you had the hub apart, you should have pulled the spindle out and inspect the bearings and seals. If you're going to go that far, might as well go all the way.
Don't bother with replacing the spindle nuts with the stock lock/star nuts. They're prone to failure even when new. Get the "BlueHummer" locking spindle nuts from ModMafia and never have to replace them again. It's the 1st upgrade to make to the truck without a doubt.
One recommendation, after torquing the nut to 40 lb-ft, and rotating the wheel forwards, and backwards, put the socket and torque wrench back on and without loosening, tighten to 40 again and note if the socket/nut moved, if it did, repeat, if it did not, loosen and re-torque to 25.
Agreed, Even more, if your going to all this detail just as preventative maintenance… I would: Torque to 20 rotate Torque to 40 rotate Relieve Torque to 20 rotate Torque to 25 rotate Torque to 25 done
Dakota: Thanks for the detailed video on how to inspect and service the spindle nut. Getting ready to replace the output spindle seal on my H1 this afternoon.
Hi, Dakota wood, I am French and I would have liked to have the hub torque tightening because I do not speak English. Please. Thank you for your answer and continue it's great!
Hallo Dakota, Thank you very much for your *Instructions - did learn a lot, the Hmmwv - is another Dimension, in case of my old M1009-35-years-old-stuka-of-wheels. did follow your videos, collecting experiences others, preparing - I guess next car will be M998, surplus. Unfortenately no Humvee -surplus sales in Germany (most are given as mil.-aid/help = especially to Ukraine +- 600 ea;) Dekades back, I had had various suvs, best of All - US-Mil.-Vehicles.= -did start w/M38A1, as i have been in your age. until today, for my land- manor no better car as an US-Mil-vehicle. May I wish you health and luck, and would be nice - seeing more of your *Lectures..
Congratulations for The video. Another question. What is the maximum temperature indicated by the coolant needle that you have ever reached under effort? Have you ever touched the line/notch next to the middle when overexerting yourself? Thank you
Hi friend. I would like to explain better what I did today. the 2 radiators placed in the upper part have been completely disassembled and worked to have them restored. one if I'm not mistaken is that of air conditioning and the other that of engine and transmission oil. As for the latter, first of all, I have a question for you. 1) Should the gear oil level be checked with the dipstick when the engine is running and when it is hot? 2) after draining the coolant from the drain valve, I added 17 liters. How many liters do you need? 3) today I dedicate myself to the level of the engine coolant. I filled the tank to maximum and turned on the h1 from a standstill by turning the main and auxiliary fan to maximum by moving the heater knob completely hot and waiting for the engine to reach normal operating temperature. the car remained stationary during this operation with the engine running without driving. When the engine reached normal operating temperature, I unscrewed the screw of the 2 air bleeds but not a lot of air came out and no coolant came out. because? I'm asking you this because I don't want to cause engine damage and burn the cylinder head gasket. thanks friend . Kings regards Gianfranco
Thanks for all the great content you post. I am trying to buy one off auction. A few questions; - looks like most the fasteners are imperial? Or is it a mix? - how long after auction win do you actually get the truck? - any suggestions on noise reduction? Thanks
I own a M998 .. and im trying to find a good place to order parts. Like.. Front left Axle the boot is tore. also looking to the 4 door canopy cover. thats not going to cost me my first child..
justin Garrett working on a video that covers where I find all my parts. I would suggest looking on eBay and join some of the Humvee Facebook groups and look on there for parts.
When I was in the army I was in the motor pool and a Hmmwv was being pulled in ask what happened they told me it went into the ditch after loosing the tire say the spindle nut was not put in properly
When rolling my M998 on a slight down hill with foot off accelerator and brake I hear a squeak every revolution of the wheels. Have any ideas what that could be?

Hey all. Quick question about the CV Shaft retaining bolt. Say, (worst case scenario), my screw came undone and walked itself out of the shaft. How can I fish the bolt out of the hub? I'm at a loss. Any help is greatly appreciated 🙏.
Hey! You would have to take the side cover off the right side of the hub. It’s the cover that has the fill plug. You might be able to fish it out with a magnet.

I don't even own a humvee and I watched this. Good times Dakota!

Glad I was able to help! If you get stuck on anything just let me know, I could give you a call and help out.
My h1 wheel fell off 20 years ago 15 min after I just purchased it......great advice! Cost me about 3k to have fixed
Fantastic video. Great detail on all the important parts of the process. THanks for taking the time to put this together!

Thanks Dakota... awesome video like always
Thanks Dakota! Well done! I’m still enjoying my hmmwv!
Great job! Say hi to the family

40 foot lbs turn the hub 10 times in both directions then take it to 40 foot lbs.
Can you make a video on how to replace rear brake pads and calipers on 1989 M998? Thanks
Great video! I'm waiting for parts to get this job done, this is a confidence building video.

Hi Kumpel, tolles verständliches Video :-) Tolle Arbeit Dakota ;-)Hi buddy, great understandable video :-) Great job Dakota ;-)
Thanks DW!
Awesome work!!
Thanks
Great video... Very nice 😊👍
Great Video
Congratulations for The video.
Another question.
What is the maximum temperature indicated by the coolant needle that you have ever reached under effort? Have you ever touched the line/notch next to the middle when overexerting yourself? Thank you
why not use thread tape on those fittings? seems that would provide for easier maintenance down the road...
Peter Griffin Good observation! Thank you, I’ll use that for now on 👍🏼

What made you decide to change the spindle nut? I have one with 29K on it should I do the same?
Where did you got that spindle nut kit sir ? All three ?
Where did you get the parts for this project? Is there a vendor that you would recommend?
Making a video on this topic right now 👍🏼
@@DakotaWoodHD thank you. I'll look forward to seeing that video.
Hey Joshua, I Just put out a video on where I find my Humvee parts.
Does that humvee have lighter springs? If so, how do you like them?
What silicone or gasket maker do you recommend for the cover?

Hello Justin, I just put out a video on where I find my parts.
does it use gas?
When I was in the army I was in the motor pool and a Hmmwv was being pulled in ask what happened they told me it went into the ditch after loosing the tire say the spindle nut was not put in properly
Where did you get your Humvee from, how much was it, do you think it was worth it, can you pick up girls in it, can it be a main car?
When rolling my M998 on a slight down hill with foot off accelerator and brake I hear a squeak every revolution of the wheels. Have any ideas what that could be?
Could be uneven wear on a brake rotor.
Was there no gasket for the spindle nut cover? Feels like there's meant to be a gasket there, unless it didn't come factory standard.
@@1968zz4350 ahh ok, it just seemed wrong to have a bare metal surface for that thing until you mentioned that the manual calls for sealer to be used.
