This video shows the steps required to replace the bearing hub assembly on a 1999-2004 Ford F-250 F-350 Super Duty I used motorcraft parts purchased from rock auto.
@@redeyecafegarage7484 I got about 135K on one side and 170K on the other. Yesterday I changed the driver's side for the second time. I have 348K on my '04 F250 SD. It's been a good truck and still runs strong and looks good.
Started my how to research with your video and for the first time in the existence of RUclips I don't have to look at any other videos. This is absolute awesome and thank you for saving us all the extra time watching loud, long useless videos to get the info we need to do the job!!!
Awesome! Thank you for the feedback! I guess I need to make more videos in this format. I personally got tired of long videos with too much talking. Just get to the point. 😆
Awesome video!! Super helpful! I urgently need to do the right hub on my 2005 excursion. After watching your video, I think I got this in the bag... Next up is welding my EGR shut.
Thanks yeah this was the first dana 60 wheel bearing I’ve done. I looked on RUclips and all the tutorials were like 20 mins long. I wanted something like this that quickly gave me an idea for the steps. So hopefully this can help someone else who knows the basics but just wants to see the steps. Thank you so much for watching!
Thank you for getting right to it and not wasting twenty minutes showing us how to jack up a truck. (I like how you checked the boxes on that, though.)
Thank you for not having the usual "Intro" and hit the "subscribe" button. Nice music. Very very well made video. This was not easy to make IMO. I have tried.
Thank you! I did my best to make it this way because just like you I got tired of all the bs on RUclips. I’m a fan of videos that just show you what you need to see. Thank you for the feedback!
Glad you Enjoyed it. It’s been a few years. I honestly can’t remember if they’re the same part number. I feel like if it’s a non abs truck it wouldn’t matter but definitely double check me before you order. I did both sides back when this video came out.
@@redeyecafegarage7484 on a good day. Just called ford parts, they said it's 900+ list 700+ my cost. For the part alone!!!! I'm sure it's at least 2.5 hours labor
DANA 60 (possibly 50 as well) FRONT FORD 4X4 AXLE 99-04 (dont know if more dates) THRUST WASHERS (though this term seems to include snap rings). Seems to be 3 different sets (but can buy some seperately, dont know if all yet) with 10 total parts.-------2 snap rings spicer # 620142 dont know ford oem # yet, -------2 INNER (goes on stub shaft but on other side of hub) plastic "axle nut washers" spicer # 47766, ford oem # f81z-4228-ba, --------3 each kit (?) of/ including 2 flat round metal washers and 1 nylon hex washer (need 2 sets) spicer # 701166x, dont know ford oem # yet. note: there seems to be alot of fraud fakes out there and dont know if any are real, buy only from ford dealership.
Lucky. Nothing wrong with my wheel bearing. But abs wire wasn’t secured properly and inside of rotor chewed through it. Now I gotta replace a hood bearing to get the light off my dash before I sell it.
Did you use that special hub/seal tool to re-install the axle/hub seal? Or is it possible to just tap in the axle until the bearing, washers, and snap ring fit with the wheel bearing??? I ordered the hub tool from Amazon and it never came. Had to call them and re-order it and they said they would send it... The ship date came, and they never sent it again. Trucks been down for 2 weeks and I'm tired of waiting and going to attempt to assemble everything without the tool.
I didn’t use any special tools. I just installed the unit as it came in the box. Everything I did is shown in the video. Unless you’re talking about a different process??
If you skip ahead to the part where I take it out of the bag you will see there is a groove on the portion of the bearing that slide into the knuckle. You will see the old o ring when you remove the bearing. That will help you know where it goes.
I just wiped a little grease on the o ring before I installed it. These a pre greased sealed u it bearings. There is no maintenance or service on them. Run them until they fail.....throw it out and install a new one. These had 180,000 miles on them.
My passenger side hub area is getting really hot. This is likely the culprit, right? I've already done new pads,rotors, caliper and lines. Also do i need snap ring pliers or will regular needle nose work fine?
Heat can often be an indicator of a failing bearing but not always. Have you jacked it up and pried on the wheel to check for movement? You could probably get by without snap ring pliers if you get creative…. But you can get a decent pair at harbor freight really cheap. It’s worth having a pair in your toolbox. Imo
This video shows everything you need to do this job. The washers and clips are laid out on the rag in the order they go back on. Please do not attempt this job if you are not confident in your ability. That would be a safety issue. Seek help from an experienced mechanic.
That doesn’t work very well on the front because the diff is offset. I usually do one side or the other. If I need both tires off the ground I use Jack stands on the frame.
It makes no difference if the studs or nuts unthread. Because the studs will stay in the hub. You throw the whole thing out and the new hub will come with studs and nuts. You don’t want to re use the studs. Unless I’m not understanding your issue.... 🤷♂️
You didn’t show how the washer and lock and inner pieces went on that’s the only part I need help with , horrible video assuming anyone knows how the inner pieces go that’s the most tedious hardest part ???!!!!
Buddy they go on reverse order they came off. He lined em up in the order they came off. Excellent video and job isn’t that hard to do either. Did mines a few year back now right side is acting up again. Had to rewatch to refresh my memory. Thanks.
@@braddawar Mine were stuck on where I had to grind pieces out and chisel and hammer so it didn’t come out in any order, I did figure it out but video was not good for what I needed
Exactly what I wanted to see. No useless chatter. No BS. Much appreciated.
Thank you! I’m glad to help out! Actually just replaced the passenger side bearing today on the same truck! 180,000 on the original bearing.

@@davidbrogan606 awesome! They are great old trucks!
I couldn't agree more
Exactly how all “how to” videos should be made! Beautiful job!
Thank you!
Wow - someone who can show exactly how to repair something w/o dragging it out for 1/2 hr.
Great job.
Thanks for noticing! That was my goal with this video.
To be fair.
RUclips limits monetization for video less than 17 minutes I thinks.
Agreed, I can do the work, just need to know the process.
This is great , no story , no lost of time about fishing trip ...
Very good way to make videos , real pros .
Good way to lurn fast .
Thank you!

Found another job for that scaler IC.👍 Another good tutorial. Keep going on that truck like that it will be good as new.

And you have Jeeps? Awe dude after my own heart. Got a cj7, Scrambler, and FSJ
Awesome thank you!
Sweet! Jeeps and fords pair well together! 😃
Thank you for making this video. Easy peasy lemon squeeze.
Is it the same part number for driver side front hub?
Glad you
Enjoyed it. It’s been a few years. I honestly can’t remember if they’re the same part number. I feel like if it’s a non abs truck it wouldn’t matter but definitely double check me before you order. I did both sides back when this video came out.
Beautiful!
Awesome VID!!!
Are the brake dust shields NOT needed? Mine rusted away. What was left fell off in pieces as I removed the hubs.
Thanks. They are there for a reason but your brakes will still work fine without them.
Thanks bud !!
You bet!
People are going "I JUST PAID $1000 FOR THIS!!!!???"
Haha. Is that what a shop charges for this job nowadays?
@@redeyecafegarage7484 on a good day. Just called ford parts, they said it's 900+ list 700+ my cost. For the part alone!!!! I'm sure it's at least 2.5 hours labor

U made that look super easy pulling the hub out, did u edit the video to bypass the banging?
Historically breaking the nuts loose is always the hardest part for me. I didn’t have any trouble popping the hub off. 👍 no camera tricks here.

This was great
Is that hub for fine thread or coarse thread lugs
Mine is coarse thread. As far as I know they switched to fine thread in 2004
Great video....what size are the four hub bolts 🔩 thanks
Did that rubber o ring go between the bearing and the axle housing ?
If you skip ahead to the part where I take it out of the bag you will see there is a groove on the portion of the bearing that slide into the knuckle. You will see the old o ring when you remove the bearing. That will help you know where it goes.
Is it the same concept on the front as it is for the rear?
No the rear is completely different. They rear is a full floating tapered roller bearing.
Only thing i wish is he would have stated the socket sizes he used
What type of Greece do you use before putting in the bearing?
I just wiped a little grease on the o ring before I installed it. These a pre greased sealed u it bearings. There is no maintenance or service on them. Run them until they fail.....throw it out and install a new one. These had 180,000 miles on them.

I'm always surprised at how you know where each small part is and then how you get it back together lol
Spending my entire childhood building legos gave me an edge as an adult! Lol.... thanks for watching!
@@redeyecafegarage7484 thank you for uploading!
Will this be the same for a 2017 6.7l?
I’m not sure. 🤔
what about the missing thrust washer between the hub and axle seal? You didn't put one in on replacement?
I put it back together exactly as it came apart you can see all the pieces are there on the rag. This video was several years ago. It’s all good 👍
Missed everything I wanted to see, were the washers go...

What brand did you use I've gone through so many bearings. They all seem to b junk. Even the motorcraft. Trying Timken this time.
Motorcraft… it’s never let me down. 👍 170k on the last set
Is this 4 wheel drive?
Yes
What brand snap ring pliers are those? They look really heavy duty!
North Fork Hollow they are channel lock brand. They are well built and do inside and outside snap rings. I love them!
@@redeyecafegarage7484 Thanks, I will check them out.
North Fork Hollow sure! www.ebay.com/itm/372932074967
Great video!
There's a silver ring inside the knuckle that isn't squared up on my truck..maybe someone did some shoddy work? Help anyone?
Thanks! Hmm I didn’t notice that when I had mine apart. Sorry. Hopefully someone else can chime in and help you out. Good luck.
when you jack up the truck do you just position the jack right under the differential?
That doesn’t work very well on the front because the diff is offset. I usually do one side or the other. If I need both tires off the ground I use Jack stands on the frame.
Do you have to have the flat washers or can you just use the locking wring?
My bad didn’t come out right, do you have to have the flat washers behind the locking wring
I hear a bit of grinding in my wheel and a little drift! Would u say a bearing hub is what I need? Thx
Jack the front up a little. If you can wiggle the wheel and it has extra play in it, the you probably need a new bearing unit.
Is this an early 99?
No. Late 99
How did you get the 4 hub assembly studs removed? I have the nuts off of those but it seems to be welded on there
It makes no difference if the studs or nuts unthread. Because the studs will stay in the hub. You throw the whole thing out and the new hub will come with studs and nuts. You don’t want to re use the studs. Unless I’m not understanding your issue.... 🤷♂️
Is this relatively the same for the 2wd f250?
Sorry I don’t have a good answer for that... I would imagine it’s a different
.you cut the abs...line....for non abs trucks...... is that ok...?..
Yup. It doesn’t hurt a thing. If you have a non abs truck the wires do nothing.
2wd?
This truck is 4wd. I haven’t worked on a 2wd super duty.
💯😎
Didn’t show exactly how the locking hub goes in
Slides back in a exactly as it’s taken out
Why is it always the drivers side bearing that goes bad first on the diesels?
Good question.
@@redeyecafegarage7484 It's because the differential pumpkin on the front Dana 60 is on the drivers side. So that bearing gets more load.
Hit a big hill hard land busted both of mine
Ouch!
What was your symptoms of them being busted? Just no 4x4 or knocking when 4x4 is engaged orrrrr?
No CCs...deaf here :(
lol non abs truck
